AECOM has secured five design services contracts for Highways England worth more than £25m in fees.

The haul covers maintenance, improvements and upgrades to motorways and major ‘A’ roads across the country. 

Among the contracts is a multi-disciplinary design role on three A38 junction improvements around Derby.

It will also design enhancements on the A47 at in East Anglia at A47/A11 Thickthorn junction and several improvements at junctions on the A47/A12 near Great Yarmouth.

AECOM is also design consultant Areas 6 and 8, which cover East Anglia and the East of England through Highways England’s collaborative delivery framework.

This includes more than 50 asset maintenance projects on the M1, A1 and A5 over the next two years.

The final two deals are for upgrading junctions 12-12 of the M62 and M6 junctions 21a – 26 to become smart motorways, working with sub-consultant Mouchel.

Dave Beddell, Highways Director – Europe, AECOM, said: “ With the majority of work delivered from offices local to the project locations, our teams will work collaboratively with Highways England and our supply chain partners to provide long-term benefits for road users across the country.”
