GALLIFORD TRY APPOINTED TO £85M MELTON MOWBRAY HIGHWAYS PROJECT
Galliford Try, one of the UK's leading construction groups, announces that its Highways business has been appointed to a £85m contract with Leicestershire County Council to build the new North East Melton Mowbray Distributor Road.
The project, procured through the Midlands Highways Alliance and part-funded by the Department for Transport, will see a new road built to connect branches of the A606 around the north east edge of Melton Mowbray, creating a new through route and reducing congestion in the town centre.
Bill Hocking, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, commented: "We are delighted to be working once again with Leicestershire on another major roads scheme. Our Sustainable Growth Strategy is built on collaborative working partnerships with central and local government and our frameworks, and this project is more evidence of the success of that approach."
