Carillion has been awarded a £70.5 million construction contract for a smart motorway scheme on the M6 in Staffordshire. The work will involve upgrading the M6 between JlOa and J13 to a smart motorway with all lane running. The scheme, which currently has an estimated overall cost of £87.5m, will increase the capacity of the M6 between Junctions 10a and 13 by improving traffic flow and relieving congestion with variable mandatory speed restrictions at peak times.
