In 2013, the upgrading of this 12-mile section of the A1 from Leeming to Barton was awarded to Carillion Morgan Sindall Joint Venture by the Highways Agency.
The A1 Leeming to Barton upgrade replaced the existing dual carriageway with a new three lane motorway. It also included the provision of a new Local Access Road alongside the new motorway, improving safety for local traffic from the surrounding communities. a new grade separated junction at Catterick and an improved junction at Scotch Corner provides access to the strategic road network.
The 12-mile section of the A1 between Leeming and Barton carries between 59,000 to 69,000 vehicles per day, and previously had poor alignment with many side road junctions, farms and field accesses.
Howard Civil Engineering were initially awarded the drainage works to four of the outfalls of the scheme, with further outfalls released as work commenced on-site.
'I would personally like to thank your team for the commitment to the scheme when working around these residential properties. The behaviours of the people involved was exceptional and a credit to your business.'
