Objectors cause delay to £600m Northern line extension deal

摘要

A £600m contract to build the Northern line extension to Battersea has been delayed by several months. According to documents presented at a Transport for London board meeting, the project has been held up by objections to the Transport Work Acts Order, which will authorise the construction of the work. Prequalification questionnaires were submitted by six consortia before TfL shortlisted four bidders in June, understood to be a Bam Nuttall/Balfour Beatty joint venture, Bechtel/Strabag, Costain/Sir Robert McAlpine and Laing O'Rourke/Ferrovial.
