BAM Nuttall takes £20m Fareham bus route job

BAM Nuttall has won a £20m contract to build phase one of the South East Hampshire Bus Rapid Transit route.

BAM fought off competition from Carillion, Colas, Dean & Dyball and Osborne to work on the scheme, which received planning permission last month.

The works involve the construction of a 4.7km single carriageway road from Fareham to Gosport. They also include installation and diversion of services, a sustainable water surface drainage network and bus shelters with cycle storage.

The project is set to take two years to complete.
