In this leading consultancy role, Costain will utilise the full range of its capabilities alongside its JV partner to manage design and construction of a new dual carriageway and tunnel, replacing the existing single carriage road.
The scheme is an important milestone in the transformation of the UK’s infrastructure. It will improve the lives of people living in and travelling through the area through greater connectivity, provide a significant boost to the local economy and support national growth. Once complete, it will enhance the Stonehenge World Heritage site and the natural setting of the stones, while bringing environmental benefits by reducing congestion and increasing biodiversity around the site.
