Danaher & Walsh Civil Engineering has secured an £8m ($10.33m) contract for the latest phase to revitalise the public spaces in Waltham Cross, England, UK.  

The initiative aims to enhance the town's pedestrian zones and traffic flow, building upon previous upgrades made in 2019.  

The newly awarded project, secured via the Procure Partnerships Framework, will concentrate on three areas. 

Set to commence next month, the work is expected to span one year. 

Located at the southern edge of Hertfordshire near the M25 motorway, Waltham Cross will see its high street transformed to accommodate a single lane of traffic, improving both accessibility and functionality.  

The project will also include the remodelling of the Stanhope Way/Monarchs Way Junction.  

This will involve the installation of two new pedestrian crossings and the infilling of an existing subway, aiming to bolster pedestrian safety, streamline traffic, and mitigate antisocial behaviour. 

Further enhancements are planned for Eleanor Cross Road, where new paving and surfacing works will contribute to the town's aesthetic and practical improvements.  

Danaher & Walsh operations director Sean McCallion said: “Danaher and Walsh have just received our notice to proceed into project delivery and are mobilising for the start-on-site date of 2/09/24. We are a family-owned firm and will look to live by our family values of looking after our people and those who we work with, demonstrate personal integrity throughout and ensure a quality product is delivered.  

“We will go the extra mile to ensure we serve the local community in the Waltham Cross town centre throughout the construction phase, keeping all stakeholders, business owners and road users informed as we progress.” 

Earlier this year, Danaher & Walsh Civil Engineering announced its inclusion in the Warwickshire County Council Framework Contract for the Provision of Engineering and Construction Works.
