Irish construction firm John Sisk & Son has won a Highways England £218 million framework to revitalise ageing roads.

This builds on Sisk's current place on the CDF framework in which Sisk delivered the A19 A1058 Coast Road junction improvement in Tyneside and is currently working on the M6 Junction 10, Walsall.

The contracts will be design and build to demolish existing concrete road surfaces that are in poor condition and replace with a new improved surfaces. Sisk will be supported through delivery by Tarmac, Chevron Traffic Management and Ramboll.

The new programme is part of Highways England's nationwide drive to revitalise concrete roads in England. Up to £400 million will be invested by Highways England over the next five years to 2025. This is part of Highways England's commitment in their five-year Strategic Business Plan published last year to maintain and renew the strategic road network.

Sisk will embed its 2030 Sustainability Roadmap throughout the project lifecycles to leave a positive impact on the local environment, maximising recycling and minimising carbon usage.
