Carillion has started on an £11 million contract to build an 800-m link road under the M1 at Tinsley in south Yorkshire after funding approval for the project was secured from the Department for Transport (DfT). The job is part of Sheffi eld’s £28 million bus rapid transit scheme. Carillion beat Balfour Beatty, BAM Nuttall, Galliford Try, Graham, Henry Boot and Interserve to the package in April and has been able to start work after the DfT agreed to provide £16 million toward the city council’s proposals.
JV to start work on A6 relief road
A joint venture between Carillion and Morgan Sindall hopes to start work on a £290 million relief road from the A6 to Manchester Airport in the New Year after being confi rmed as winner of the contract.
Carillion/Morgan Sindall beat other bidders including Costain and Graham to the deal, which was procured by Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council in alliance with Cheshire East and Manchester City councils.
Gary Crisp, the contracts director for the Carillion Morgan Sindall joint venture, said: “Carillion and Morgan Sindall have an established joint venture history, having worked together successfully on the £209 million Dishforth to Leeming contract to upgrade 22 kilometres of existing A1 which was completed on-time last year.”
A planning application has been submitted. Providing this is successful, the JV will build a 10km section of dual
carriageway. This road will link the A6 at Hazel Grove to the eastern end of the existing A555 at Woodford Road in Bramhall and the western end of the existing A555 at Wilmslow Road at Handforth to Manchester Airport.
The councils hope to have the road open by 2017 as funding is secured. This will come from a £165 million Department for Transport capital grant, £105 million extra Government funding through the recently approved Greater Manchester earn back model and £20 million of local transport plan funding.
