Located in Tywyn, Gwynedd, this project is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 21 January 2022. This initiative involves significant maintenance work on a highway bridge and is crucial for ensuring safe transportation in a residential area.

Companies adept at managing projects that interact with active railway services may find this particularly appealing.
