Carillion has been awarded a £104.9 million contract to transform another section of the M6 in Birmingham - between Junctions 5 and 8 - into a managed motorway.

Managed motorways use a range of innovative technology combined with new operating procedures to actively control traffic flow. This includes variable mandatory speed limits and opening up the hard shoulder to traffic to reduce congestion and improve journey times and safety.
Carillion is one of the Highways Agency's four delivery partners for the managed motorway national framework and this award strengthens Carillion's position as a leading provider of managed motorway upgrades and follows the successful delivery of two previous phases of the managed motorway programme around Birmingham.
Advance works for the contract are due to start at the end of January 2012 and the main works by June 2012, subject to the completion of the statutory process, with contract completion scheduled for 2014-15.

Commenting, Carillion Chief Executive, Richard Howson, said: "We are delighted to have been chosen to work with the Highways Agency as its delivery partner for this latest managed motorway contract, which further reinforces Carillion's position as one of the leading suppliers for the Agency's managed motorway programme."
