UK construction giant Balfour Beatty has secured a major road contract in the USA.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has awarded the firm a $203 million design-build contract to improve traffic on a 5.1-mile stretch of U.S. 70 in James City in Craven County.
This project will see the key east-west corridor upgraded to interstate standards.
"Our southeast region team's design-build expertise and unique ability to self-perform both the structures and roadway scope make this U.S. 70 improvement project a strategic fit," said Mark Johnnie, vice president and southeast region manager for Balfour Beatty's U.S. civil construction operations. "We're honoured to once again serve as NCDOT's construction partner as we begin work to deliver another successful project for this client."
Design and right-of-way acquisition is scheduled to begin in late 2019, and construction is expected to commence in early 2021. The work is expected to be complete in the autumn of 2023.
