Roads

We partner with our customers to enhance roads, from strategic networks to those serving local communities. Together, we design, construct, operate, manage, renew and maintain infrastructure assets. Our collaborative approach creates a better transportation system for everyone.

We're constantly pushing the boundaries in highways construction and maintenance, driven by our commitment to improving quality, safety, and productivity. Our passion is reflected in the diverse projects we undertake. From the £31 million Regent Street Flyover project, procured through traditional methods, to the intricate Design Build Finance Operate (DBFO) projects like the £6.2 billion M25 Motorway Widening and Improvements scheme, our goals are clear: to increase capacity, enhance safety and to make a positive difference in people's lives and the environment through our work.

We provide safe, sustainable and efficient design and construction, optimising the use of modern methods of construction, that focus on the needs of the road-users and those living and working in the surrounding communities. Our dedication extends beyond construction itself – we are committed to creating social value and promoting biodiversity on all our projects. By reducing carbon emissions, we actively contribute to a greener future, in line with Balfour Beatty's Sustainability Strategy, Building New Futures.

Exceeding social value targets on the A2 Bean and Ebbsfleet junction

On the A2 Bean and Ebbsfleet junction scheme, we are carrying out vital road improvement works to increase capacity and support economic development in the local community. Hear how our experts exceeded their social value targets, increasing them from £12m to over £36m on this project and how this resulted in a National Highways Industry Award. #BuildingNewFutures #ExpertEngineers #Highways

On the Strategic Road Network, we deliver large complex enhancement schemes such as motorways, bypasses and junction improvements. Our team of civil engineering experts is skilled in designing and constructing new roads, tunnels, and structures. We carefully consider factors like the environment, funding, existing infrastructure and construction time to create the best solutions possible to improve the road network and make travel smoother for everyone.

Our work for local authorities includes capacity and safety improvements, new roads that open-up land for economic development as well as, through our Balfour Beatty Living Places business, highways maintenance, CCTV, street lighting and public spaces projects.

Across both local and national road networks, we also deliver highways services including asset renewals, roadside technology, operations and maintenance.
