LONDON (Alliance News) - Construction and infrastructure group Balfour Beatty PLC on Thursday said it has secured a contract with Highways England for the construction of a proposed lorry area near the M20 in Kent.
Balfour said the GBP130.0 million contract will cover the development of plans during the early contractor involvement phase and will cover the construction of the lorry area, subject to approval by the UK government.
"Balfour Beatty's expertise in major infrastructure projects and long standing relationship with Highways England will be crucial for the safe and successful delivery of this project. The M20 lorry area will provide much needed relief to Kent's road networks while supporting local economic growth and development," said Leo Quinn, Balfour's chief executive.
