Kier Scoops £33m Contract

Kier has won a £33 million highways contract to dual the A30 between Temple and Higher Carblake in Cornwall.

Cornwall Council will part-fund and deliver the project in conjunction with the Highways Agency. Work will begin in March 2015 and is expected to take 22 months, with the new road open to the public in early 2017.

The scheme will dual the last section of single carriageway on the A30 between the M5 at Exeter and the Carland Cross junction with the A39 north of Truro (approx.4.5km). The improvements have been designed to ease congestion, increase the reliability of journeys and make it easier to travel across this busy part of the region.
