The contract solely covers Bristol City, meaning it will be predominantly urban working.

James Birch, managing director for local highways at Kier, said: "This is the first time we have been awarded work by Bristol City Council and we are looking forward to working collaboratively with them over the next four years.

"To help improve the city's roads for the local communities, we will be using cleaner, more efficient equipment that will reduce our carbon footprint in line with our target to have all fleet and plant transitioned to alternative fuel by 2030."
