Balfour Beatty secures contract extension to operate and maintain M1-A1 Link Road

Balfour Beatty, the international infrastructure group, has been awarded a US$47.5 million (£36 million) contract extension to its existing Managing Agent Contract for the M1-A1 Link Road in the UK on behalf of Connect Roads, for ultimate customer Highways England.

The extension sees Balfour Beatty continue its operations and maintenance services through to March 2026 on this 18-mile long strategic motorway between the M1 and M62 south and east of Leeds, and the A1 (M) south of Wetherby.

Works undertaken by Balfour Beatty include network management, technical inspections, routine and cyclical maintenance, asset management and lifecycle maintenance, including pavement, structures, geotechnical, highway lighting and signs, vehicle restraint and road markings.
