| Ferrovial to build toll road in Northern Ireland Ferrovial's construction subsidiary Ferrovial Agroman, in consortium with equal partners Lagan and Costain, has been awarded a contract to design and build the A8 Belfast to Larne toll road in Northern Ireland. The project, worth 102 million pounds sterling (equivalent to 127 million euro), involves building 14.5 kilometres of toll road plus a 3.5 km. bypass around the town of Ballynure. The road must be opened to traffic within 34 months. The new infrastructure will link Belfast, Northern Ireland's capital city, with the port of Larne, which handles a large proportion of goods traffic between Ireland and Great Britain. This is Ferrovial Agroman's first contract under the ECI (Early Contractor Involvement) model, which is divided into two phases: In the first phase, the winning bidder advises the client on aspects such as construction methods and options for optimising the design. The second phase includes the standard design and construction work. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
