LONDON (Alliance News) - Infrastructure Group Balfour Beatty PLC Monday said the North Carolina Department of Transportation has selected it to construct the I-140 Wilmington Bypass highway project, in a deal worth GBP77 million.
Balfour will construct a 7,185 foot-long bridge over the Cape Fear River in North Carolina and around 1.5 miles of a four-lane road in the south-east counties of Brunswick and New Hanover.
Included in the construction are ten bridges, six of which are twin bridges. The bridge over the Cape Fear River will span a delicate wetlands area, requiring careful ecological management, Balfour said.
The construction team will access the bridge via a temporary work trestle. This will mitigate temporary wetland impacts while providing safe access for the workers, Balfour said.
Balfour shares were trading up 2.50 pence at 271.00p early Monday.
