Construction work for highways, roads

Tender description

The A303 at Stonehenge currently severs the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site (WHS) and acts as a bottleneck for users of the route. The proposed scheme would create an Expressway standard dual carriageway route that improves the vital connection between the South West and the South East whilst reducing the impact of the route on the WHS. The scheme is currently in the Options phase, with a preferred route announcement planned for summer 2017 and a DCO application planned for summer 2018. A Contractor is to be appointed under an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) contract, initially to assist with the DCO application and then to design, build and maintain the scheme. A Market Engagement day will be held on 12.10.2016 in Bristol. This event will provide more information on the scheme and the procurement strategy. Please can you express an interest in attending by emailing simon.chohan@highwaysengland.co.uk who will then provide the time and location of the event. Please refer to II.1.4 (Short description) above.
