The Scheme would provide 28km of dual carriageway with 8 grade separated junctions and 22 bridges. It would complete the link between the M1 at Leicester and the Newark Relief Road. Scott Wilson would provide all aspects of the design including highway, structures and geotechnical design and extensive environmental mitigation measures, including archaeology.
Hugh Blackwood, Group Chief Executive, said: "We are very happy to have moved to the next stage of this contract which, once again, reflects our reputation for delivering high profile road projects. The A46 highlights the government's recently announced commitment to major expenditure in infrastructure projects. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Balfour Beatty and the Highways Agency."
