A 1146 Balfour Beatty joint venture with South West Highways has been awarded a €55 million 10-year extension to its contract for operations and maintenance on the 102km A30/A35 main Exeter to Bere Regis road.
The contract is on behalf of Connect Roads for ultimate customer Highways England, the newly named government roads agency.
The joint venture – SWHBBIS - was appointed as the operations and maintenance contractor for this stretch of the trunk road in 1996. In 2006, the joint venture was re-appointed to deliver a contract with more responsibilities.
The joint venture has continued to build a strong relationship with Connect Roads, demonstrating added value and cost efficiency in its core activities of emergency response, winter and routine maintenance, and the delivery of significant life-cycle works including resurfacing over 400,000m2 of the trunk road.
David May, SWHBBIS project manager, said the site team of 20 people worked hard to ensure the contract has been a success up to now for the estimated 25,000 daily road users.
The contract extension will start October 1, 2016, and run to September 30, 2026.
