The firm has been appointed to build the T12 Derby Link Road.
Involving the construction of a new, approximately 2.4km long single carriageway between Wilmore Road and Holmleigh Way, the scheme will also include the creation of two bridges spanning Cuttle Brook and the associated drainage and service works.

The link road will provide access to development plots in Derby’s new high tech business centre, known as Derby’s Global Technology Cluster, providing valuable regeneration and investment opportunities in the area, including up to 8,000 new jobs.
Balfour Beatty has worked closely with Derby City Council over the last year to ensure the on-going viability of the scheme by reviewing value engineering options to maximise their budget and funding streams. During this process, Balfour Beatty reviewed the geotechnical design, generating significant improvements, as well as refining the proposed drainage strategy.
