Carillion wins M6 managed motorway contract worth some GBP105
million
Carillion has been awarded a GBP104.9 million contract to
transform another section of the M6 in Birmingham - between
Junctions 5 and 8 - into a managed motorway. Managed motorways use
a range of innovative technology combined with new operating
procedures to actively control traffic flow. This includes variable
mandatory speed limits and opening up the hard shoulder to traffic
to reduce congestion and improve journey times and safety.
Carillion is one of the Highways Agency's four delivery partners
for the managed motorway national framework and this award
strengthens Carillion's position as a leading provider of managed
motorway upgrades and follows the successful delivery of two
previous phases of the managed motorway programme around
Birmingham.
Advance works for the contract are due to start at the end of
January 2012 and the main works by June 2012, subject to the
completion of the statutory process, with contract completion
scheduled for 2014-15.
Commenting, Carillion Chief Executive, Richard Howson, said: "We
are delighted to have been chosen to work with the Highways Agency
as its delivery partner for this latest managed motorway contract,
which further reinforces Carillion's position as one of the leading
suppliers for the Agency's managed motorway programme."
