Transport for London (TfL) has signed a £500M framework deal with Costain, Morgan Sindall and Skanska to deliver major transportation projects in London.

Under the four-year deal, the firms will design and build some of London's most high profile and complex road improvement projects.

The various projects will transform highways, reduce dangers on the roads, improve journey reliability and encourage cycling and walking, according to Tfl.

Some of the schemes to be delivered through the framework could include the proposed Fiveways scheme in Croydon and the removal of the Vauxhall gyratory, as well as major asset renewal and upgrades like the A40 Westway structure.

TfL's director of projects and programmes Nick Fairholme said: “We are delighted to be working with Costain, Morgan Sindall and Skanska over the next four years on a range of high profile and complex civil engineering projects.

“Each contractor brings something unique to the table and all have experience in designing and building major schemes, which will ensure Londoners get these key projects delivered in the most effective and efficient way.”
