The contracts involve works on the M62 and M27
A Morgan Sindall and BAM Nuttall joint venture has been awarded two contracts worth a total of 拢322m to deliver part of Highways England鈥檚 smart motorway programme.
The first contract, a two-stage design and build contract worth 拢104m, is to upgrade 10 miles of the M62 between Warrington (J10) and Manchester (J12).
The design phase for this project began in December last year, with the JV supported by design partners WSP and AECOM.
On site works are scheduled to get under way this spring.
The second contract has a value of 拢218m and will see the M27 between junctions 4 and 11 converted to create permanent four lane stretch spanning 15 miles.

Both contracts have been awarded under Highway鈥檚 England鈥檚 Collaborative Delivery Framework, which the JV won a place on in 2014.
The 拢5bn framework is the largest ever for the improvement of England鈥檚 motorways and A roads.
