The Highways Agency has confirmed four teams for its 拢2bn managed motorway national framework.
Balfour Beatty, Carillion, a Costain/Serco joint venture and a BAM Nuttall/Morgan Est joint venture have all secured places on the scheme.
The quartet will deliver the first phase of the motorway programme which includes:
- M62 hard shoulder running between junctions 25 and 30 near Bradford

Highways Agency major projects director Nirmal Kotecha said: 鈥淭his national framework contract is about getting the best out of government investment. This will be achieved by the four contractors 鈥 our delivery partners - working in partnership to standardise processes and solutions, and maximising economies of scale in procurement.鈥
The first managed motorway in the UK was M42 junction 3A to 7 and Carillion is currently working on the M6 junction 8 to 10 Birmingham Box.
