The scope of work being undertaken by WSP will include: assessing the contractual impact of new schemes on the existing DBFO contracts, providing technical assessment of remedial works on the A19 Tees Viaduct and the verification of traffic flows and lane closures.

John Stock, Project Director at WSP, explains: “This is a very significant win for WSP and we are thrilled that the experience and knowledge of our Highways team has been recognised by Highways England.”
