Galliford Try’s Highways CEO Bill Hocking said: “We are delighted to be working once again with Leicestershire on another major roads scheme. Our Sustainable Growth Strategy is built on collaborative working partnerships with central and local government and our frameworks, and this project is more evidence of the success of that approach.”

It features a construction of a new road to link sections of the A606 along the north-east side of Melton Mowbray. This will create a new cut-through and decrease congestion in the town centre.

The Melton Mowbray contract follows the award for the new multi-million-pound Carlisle Southern Link Road (CSLR) in the UK.

The CSLR contract was awarded to Galliford Try’s Highways last month.
