The 2579 Mott MacDonald Grontmij joint venture is working on plans for a € 189 million (£160 million) upgrade of the A63 Castle Street in the UK city of Hull. The partners were appointed by the 2309 Highways Agency to develop proposals for the scheme, which is intended to reduce journey times to the Port of Hull, ease congestion and improve safety on the city centre section of the A63. The route is currently one of the busiest sections of road in East Yorkshire. This 1.5km dual carriageway runs in an east-west direction to the south of Hull city centre and connects the M62 motorway, Humber Bridge and Port of Hull. Proposed improvements include lowering the level of the road into a cutting, widening the existing eastbound carriageway and building footbridges. The partners will develop cost, preliminary design, construction and related environmental proposals to support the planning process for construction of the scheme. This package of work has been awarded as part of the Highways Agency’s Project Support Framework - Lot 1, Integrated Highway Engineering and Technology Design Consultancy, for which the partners started working in April 2011.
