3902 Balfour Beatty’s UK construction business today announces the award of the £75 million A63 Castle Street Hull improvement scheme for the Highways Agency under an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) design and build contract.  

The 1.5 kilometre scheme in the centre of Hull will improve journey times for road users through conversion of a major interchange into a split level junction with a two‐lane dual carriageway carrying east‐west traffic below north‐south traffic in a new 400 metre underpass.  

The scheme will also include two new bridges which will link the south and north of the city for pedestrians, cyclists and disabled users.  

Balfour Beatty will also manage detailed design and development and assist with statutory consultations for the improvements which, if successful, will enable it to begin construction in 2016/17.
