摘要

Balfour Beatty has beaten Carillion, Costain, Laing O'Rourke and a BAM Nuttall/Morgan Sindall joint venture to a ￡75 million early contractor involvement (ECI) deal to carry out improvements to the A63 Castle Street in the centre of Hull.The project has been let as an ECI contract as a number of statutory processes need to be completed and Balfour Beatty is not expected to start work on the much-needed scheme until early 2016.Roads Minister John Hayes said: "Hull's drivers, pedestrians and cyclists ... will see dramatic and positive changes to their journeys. This is all about meeting the needs of a major growing city, creating jobs which will benefit the economy for years to come."
