| Hochtief to build road in England and Salzburg Main Station Germany's Hochtief Construction has been awarded the contract for two transportation projects in England and Austria with a total volume of more than EUR 85 million. Hochtief Construction Austria will be expanding the main railway station at Salzburg. The contract has a volume of EUR 50 million. Hochtief Construction UK is extending two sections of motorway in a joint venture in the county of Kent. The contract has a total volume of EUR 64 million and Hochtief's share amounts to around EUR 35 million. While maintaining day-to-day operations, the Salzburg hub will be enlarged into a through-station with a capacity of 25,000 passengers per day. As part of the project, which will be running until 2014, Hochtief will be revamping platforms with a total length of over three kilometers and replacing the current pedestrian tunnel with a broad passage linking two parts of the city. Close to Kent International Airport, Hochtief Construction UK is extending the two sections of motorway to a length of eight kilometers. One particularly challenging aspect will be the underpass beneath an operating railway line. The project will be completed in 2012. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
