The £40 million ten year deal is an extension to its existing contract involving operations and maintenance (O&M) works on the 102km A30/A35 Exeter to Bere Regis trunk road on behalf of Connect Roads for Highways England.
The SWHBBIS was appointed as contractor for the same road in 1996. In 2006, the JV was re-appointed to deliver a contract with enhanced service delivery management responsibilities.

Work activities include routine winter maintenance works, emergency response and the delivery of significant life-cycle works such as resurfacing over 400,000m2 of the road.
SWHBBIS Project Manager David May said: "The extension of our existing contract to 2026 is a clear testament to the hard work and commitment of our twenty strong site team over the past years. We look forward to continuing to provide further value to Connect Roads, Highways England and the 25,000 road-users who use this section of the route every day."
The contract extension will commence on 1 October 2016 and will run to 30 September 2026.
