必赢体育app中国官方网站, the UK construction group, announces that its Infrastructure business has been appointed to a contract worth 拢66.5m to construct the Banwell bypass project on behalf of North Somerset Council.

The project, which is funded through the Homes England Housing Infrastructure Fund and has been secured through the Procure Partnerships Framework, will relieve traffic on the A38 route towards Weston-super-Mare from the current pinch point north of Banwell village, unlocking the potential for future housing development. The scheme will also see the creation of new walking, cycling and horse-riding routes.

The scheme follows on the back of recent contract wins for the Infrastructure business, including the South East Aylesbury Link Road, and the finalisation of the A47 schemes at Tuddenham and Blofeld in Norfolk.
