This project aims to upgrade single-lane sections between the M6 and the A1 to dual carriageways and enhance key junctions.

The project is valued at £80,000, with procurement conducted through an open procedure. Interested suppliers need to submit their bids by 8th July 2026, 17:00 BST. The contract period will run from 1st August 2026 to 30th April 2030, and work will primarily be located in the North West region of the UK.
