This contract win is initially for an eight year duration, with the option to extend for up to a further four years.

The A1 Darrington to Dishforth DBFO project comprises improvements to and the operation and maintenance of 53kms of the A1(M) / A1(T) between Darrington, south of the A1(M) / M62 interchange and the A1(M) / A168 interchange at Dishforth, east of Ripon. This DBFO forms a strategic link in the national network between Scotland, the north-east and the south of England.
