The 3Angle special purpose company, a consortium of 2248 Fluor, 3i Infrastructure and 6836 Heijmans Capital has completed the financing of the A27/A1 public private partnership (PPP) project in the Netherlands. The project is valued at more than US$246 million, which includes a 25-year management and maintenance period.

3Angle is responsible for the financing, design, construction, management and maintenance of the reconstruction of the A27 motorway between Utrecht North and the Eemnes Junction, as well as the A1 motorway between the Eemnes Junction and the Bunschoten-Spakenburg interchange. Fluor and Heijmans will provide engineering, procurement, construction services and operations and maintenance during the operational phase with equal shares.

The project includes widening the A27 motorway to two three-lane traffic lanes; widening the A1 motorway to two four-lanes and increasing capacity at the A27/A1 connecting curve within the Eemnes Junction. Construction is due to be completed by the end of 2018 when the 25-year maintenance period will commence.

The Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management of the Netherlands (4767 Rijkswaterstaat) is undertaking the project to improve safety and traffic flow on the A27 and A1 motorways while respecting the surrounding natural environment.
