Galliford Try's Infrastructure division has secured an £88.9 million contract from Buckinghamshire Council to carry out the South East Aylesbury Link Road (SEALR) project.

The SEALR project will see the construction of 1.1 miles of dual carriageway including three new roundabout junctions, linking the A413 Wendover Road with the Stoke Mandeville Relief Road, and easing congestion in the centre of the town.

Bill Hocking, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, commented: "The Local Authority sector is a key focus for our Infrastructure business, and we have strong track record in constructing major link roads throughout the country. We look forward to working with Buckinghamshire Council to deliver the high-quality infrastructure that will make a real difference to the local community."

Leader of Buckinghamshire Council, Martin Tett said: "This is an incredibly complex project which has involved bringing many different elements together and overcoming some hurdles along the way. It is brilliant news we now have a contractor in place to complete the rest of the work on the main section of this new road which will go a huge way to easing the traffic problems regularly experienced in Aylesbury.

"It really is a critical piece of infrastructure that will bring huge benefits to residents and business – reducing congestion, improving the environment and facilitating housing and job growth in and around Aylesbury. We urgently need the right infrastructure in place in Aylesbury and this is a key part of that, being directly delivered by the council."
