Highways England has started the hunt for a firm to deliver early contractor involvement on the proposed A303 Stonehenge expressway.
The ambitious project is projected to cost anywhere between £300m and £1.3bn depending on the final route option.
Highways England plans to hold a market engagement day on 12 October in Bristol to set out proposals for taking the vast expressway project forward.
An announcement of the preferred route is planned for summer 2017 and a DCO application planned for summer 2018.
It will involve improvements to the A303 between Amesbury and Berwick Down and subject to option approval includes the construction of a twin-bored tunnel of at least 1.8 miles in length on the A303 as it passes Stonehenge, a bypass for Winterbourne Stoke and junctions with the A358 and the A360.
The winning ECI contractor will initially assist with the DCO application and then to design, build and maintain the scheme.
Firm’s interested in attending the market engagement should by email Simon Chohan at Highways England for further details.
