More than fifty million pounds has been awarded to contractor VolkerFitzpatrick to deliver a series of improvements along the busy A27.
As part of the government’s Road Investment Strategy, Highways England is developing a scheme to upgrade various junctions as well as creating a new dual carriageway on a short section west of Polegate, with enhanced walking and cycling facilities along the whole stretch.
Stuart Ayres, VolkerFitzpatrick’s framework partnership director for the DIP Framework, said; “Following our appointment to the Delivery Integration Partnership Framework in November of last year, we are now delighted to have signed the first scheme contract for the A27 East of Lewes improvement works. This marks the start of a new collaborative approach to strategic delivery on the roads network and continues the strong working relationship between VolkerFitzpatrick and Highways England.”
Work on the A27 upgrade is expected to start next spring.
