BAM Nuttall and Morgan Sindall have been awarded a £35 million barrier renewal works package on the M1 Junctions 19 to 16, under the Highway Agency's National Major Projects Framework.

The bmJV will see the barrier renewal work replace the existing life expired barrier and facilitate a future smart motorway scheme along this stretch of road.

The project will replace over 12 miles of existing steel safety barrier with a slip-formed concrete barrier in conjunction with strengthening and stabilising of the hard shoulder and accommodating new drainage and communication systems in the central reserve.

The work is due to take place from August 2014 until June 2015.
