Other traffic safety improvement measures were included in towns, villages and hazard spots. Furthermore the construction of a weighbridge station and ancillary works such as signage, road lining and guardrails were part of the scope of work. The project was financially supported by the Danish government. The first phase of the project ended in 2011 when the first four Sections were handed over. In addition to those first 150 kilometres, an extension contract to rehabilitate another 70 kilometres was completed mid August 2013. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
