The project, labelled under the title "Houston Interchange Bridge Refurbishment," falls under the 'works' industry category.

The contract has been awarded to VolkerLaser Ltd, with the contract being signed on 30th September 2025. The expected contract value is £844,278.84, reflecting the project's extensive scope and technical requirements.
