Last year’s winner
Costain Carillion JV on behalf of the Highways Agency
M1 Junc 10-13 Improvement Scheme
The project was a Managed Motorway with the technology to allow the hard shoulder to operate as a running lane during busier periods. This increased capacity ensures more reliable journey times for local residents and both local and national businesses.

Construction was undertaken on an extremely busy highway in limited space using innovative methods and with good stakeholder liaison.
