Construction News Image
Highways England has announced the thirteen contractors who have been selected to carry out up to £8.7 billion of work on the national road network.

The contractors, known as Delivery Integration Partners, will be part of Highways England's Regional Delivery Partnership, which incentivises companies to improve safety and journeys on roads.

The partnership will help develop, design and construct highway projects across England from 2019 through to 2024.

Highways England Chief Executive Jim O'Sullivan said: "Routes to Market represents a fundamental change in the way we deliver road projects. It will be performance rather than price based, focusing on building the right projects with the best outcomes for road users and the communities we serve.
