    Brief

    National Highways is seeking a design and build partner for the M42/A45 Free Flow Link and East Way Bridge project.

Key project components include: replacement of the East Way Bridge to resolve structural defects, construction of the North West Free Flow Link to improve traffic flow, and delivery of associated technology systems. The project aims to enhance reliability and safety of this critical transport corridor serving the NEC and regional connectivity. Interested suppliers should have experience in large-scale highway infrastructure design and construction, structural engineering, and project delivery on major transport schemes.
