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.
