GRAHAM Commended For £8m Stockport Road Project
GRAHAM's Travis Brow Link Road project has been named Project of the Year at the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation's (CIHT) North West Awards.
The £8 million project will deliver a new classified Link Road approximately 390m long and retain walls that carry the Link Road under a Grade II listed Stockport Viaduct.
It will significantly improve access to and around Stockport, to the M60, the rail station, and to key sites within the town centre.
The CIHT North West Project of the Year Award is given to an outstanding project that demonstrates a contribution to the mobility of the community in the north west of England.
On receiving the award, GRAHAM's Managing Director- Civil Engineering, Leo Martin, said: "We are delighted to see the Travis Brow Link Road named Project of the Year by the CIHT North West. The award is great recognition for our project team, which has worked tirelessly to provide a link road that will improve access, help reduce traffic congestion and improve the efficiency and reliability of Stockport’s highway network, bringing significant benefits for businesses, residents and visitors alike.
"Throughout the project we have strived for efficiency and sustainability in our delivery, taking particular care to minimise the impact of construction works on local stakeholders and the wider community. Thanks to the hard work of our team in collaboration with the client, Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, we have succeeded in our key objectives of achieving best value, minimising disruption and efficient delivery, living up to the project's mission of 'we all succeed together'. Congratulations to all involved in this scheme on this fantastic achievement."
GRAHAM's civil engineering division collected the award on Thursday 28 March at a black-tie event at the Park Royal Hotel in Stretton, Warrington.
