Tarmac wins A13 bid


Tarmac has pipped Amey and Amec to win the latest stretch of the A13 upgrade in Essex with a bid of œ51 million - well below the Highways Agency estimate of œ78 million.

The 3km stretch of three-lane dual carriageway runs from the existing A13 at Heathway through the Ford Motor Company estate at Dagenham. The section is the westernmost part of the route, which links the A13 to the Mar Dyke bypass in Essex.

The works include one grade-separated junction and 1.7km of viaduct. The other three bidders for the contract were Balfour Beatty, Laing and Alfred McAlpine.
