What the notice says

National Highways are looking to procure a design and build partner to deliver the M42 / A45 Free Flow Link & East Way Bridge scheme. This scheme will address structural issues, keep the Eastway bridge safe and ensure reliable access to the NEC and surrounding area. As a hybrid scheme, this project will deliver a joint strategy of significant renewal and enhancement works. The scope encompasses the replacement of the East Way Bridge (EWB) to address structural issues, the construction of the North West Free Flow Link (FFL), and the delivery of technology works.
