Kier Highways<\/a> has been appointed to manage the 15-month interim highways contract for Birmingham Highways Ltd (BHL)<\/h2>\n

The new Birmingham highways contract includes the city\u2019s traffic operations, planned and reactive maintenance, inspections and winter services.<\/p>\n

It covers more than 2,500km of road and 5,000km of footways, as well as 846 structuares, three tunnels, 94,000 street lighting columns, 76,000 highway trees and the city\u2019s traffic control system.<\/p>\n

Kier Highways manages 30,000km of the UK\u2019s strategic and local authority road network<\/a>, currently working with a wide range of local authorities in the country. It delivers highway services to 4.2m people and its routine reactive maintenance includes emptying gullies, surface treatment and repairing potholes.<\/p>\n

Delivering road maintenance in the Midlands<\/h3>\n

Joe Incutti, Kier acting group managing director for Highways, said: \u201cWe are delighted to be appointed to the Birmingham Highways contract and have a wealth of experience in successfully designing and maintaining local authority roads.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re a trusted supplier and already operate in the midlands delivering maintenance to one of the most complex and busy highway networks in the UK, including Spaghetti Junction, which carries 60,000 vehicles each day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking forward to working alongside Birmingham City Council<\/a> and Birmingham Highways Ltd on this contract to keep roads in Birmingham safe and reliable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Natasha Rouse, chief executive of BHL, said: \u201cWe look forward to working with Kier. The company has put together a robust offer that demonstrates its ability to provide a good quality of service and mobilise quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n

“We aim to achieve a seamless transition to our new provider while continuing to service the city\u2019s highways network.\u201d<\/p>\n

Councillor Waseem Zaffar, cabinet member for transport and environment at Birmingham City Council, added: \u201cI am pleased that Kier has put a compelling and competitive bid to us to maintain the city\u2019s highways.<\/p>\n

“Its reputation as a leading national roads operator should give welcomed assurance to the people of Birmingham that we have put the safe and efficient servicing of our streets at the heart of this process.\u201d<\/p>\n

The contract has been in place since 1 April 2020 and will end on 29 June 2020.<\/p>\n
