FCC Construcción assembles the first concrete beams in the A465 project (Wales, United Kingdom)
FCC Construcción assembles the first concrete beams in the A465 project in Wales (United Kingdom). It is about 12 beams of 32.5 meters, placed in Trewaun West Bridge.
The project developed under the PPP model consists of the expansion of the A465 highway, in sections 5 and 6, which have a length of 17.3 kilometers and are located between the towns of Dowlais Top, Merthyr Tydfil and Hirwaun. Currently, these sections of the highway have only one carriageway and heavy traffic.
The award of the project, which will complete the widening of the A465 highway, is important for the improvement of mobility and connectivity in Wales, as well as for the reactivation of the local economy. The expansion of the A465 represents a significant investment that will enable the generation of a set of benefits for local companies that participate in the development of the work.
This infrastructure is added to others recently awarded, such as the design, construction, and maintenance contract for a section of the A9 Badhoevedorp-Holendrecht motorway in the Netherlands. The company's first contract in the country.
