The team will continue to work closely with the Council to maintain the region’s 9,240km of carriageways, provide drainage cleaning services as well as winter and reactive highways maintenance such as gritting, road repairs and traffic management.

The extension builds on the current six-year contract which is due to end in 2026, extending it until Spring 2032.

Balfour Beatty will use its Operational Control Hub, which launched this year, to monitor all activities in real-time and drive efficiencies across the local road network.

The control hub serves as a platform for teams to promptly address network issues, provides streamlined defect reporting and facilitates real-time digital planning.

Steve Helliwell, managing director of Balfour Beatty Living Places, said: “We are delighted that Lincolnshire County Council have extended our contract by a further six years, testament to the strong relationship we have built.

“Today’s announcement will see us continue to provide a best-in-class highways maintenance service, whilst offering customer focused solutions in a collaborative partnership and leaving a lasting positive legacy for the communities we serve.”
