A long-standing vision to transform road links between Manchester and Sheffield is back in the spotlight, with supporters claiming that adopting Norwegian tunnelling techniques could dramatically reduce construction costs and breathe new life into a project previously considered financially out of reach. The proposal, developed by infrastructure group Future Works, would see a 14-mile (22km) dual carriageway tunnelconstructed beneath the Peak District National Park, creating

For decades, the debate surrounding Heathrow's proposed third runway has focused on aviation capacity, climate change and economic growth. Yet hidden beneath those arguments lies what may prove to be the greatest engineering challenge of them all: moving the M25. On paper, the proposal sounds almost unbelievable. Shift one of Europe's busiest motorways around 130 metres to the west, construct a new tunnel beneath the future runway and keep traffic flowing throughout construct

Two of the UK's largest infrastructure contractors have joined forces in a bid to deliver the final £1.9 billion phase of the A9 dualling programme, bringing together decades of major project experience to complete one of Scotland's most politically sensitive and technically demanding transport schemes. The new joint venture combines Balfour Beatty with Galliford Try's Scottish business, Morrison Construction, as the partners prepare to compete for the final five contracts un

National Highways worked with Walk Wheel Cycle Trust to fund the mural in a subway off Roebuck Lane in Sandwell, which is part of Route 5 on the National Cycle Network, to encourage more active travel for local journeys to reduce congestion, improve air quality, and benefit people’s health. Other improvements were made to a crossing, a shared path and lighting was updated. Sandwell Council also supported the project by removing large barriers to help make the path more access

Record-breaking 16.4-metre TBM to construct Britain's longest road tunnel beneath the River Thames Construction of the Lower Thames Crossing has reached another major milestone after National Highways confirmed the appointment of the company that will build the record-breaking tunnel boring machine (TBM) destined to excavate Britain's longest road tunnel. The enormous machine, which will become the largest tunnel boring machine ever deployed in Europe, is expected to arrive o

Arcadis has secured appointments across four specialist disciplines on Transport for London's latest Professional Services Framework, positioning the consultancy to continue supporting the delivery of major transport investment programmes across the capital. The company has been selected for Professional Services Framework 3 (PSF3), a multi-million-pound agreement that will provide specialist consultancy services to TfL's directorates over the next three years, with the optio

Historic gateway to the city moves closer to transformation as major regeneration project gains financial backing Long-awaited plans to transform Leicester railway station have received a significant boost after the Government agreed to redirect almost £10 million of previously allocated Levelling Up funding to help deliver the landmark redevelopment.

Costain will continue supporting the maintenance and resilience of water infrastructure across North West England after securing a three-year extension to its long-running managed services agreement with United Utilities. The contract extension takes the partnership to its full 10-year duration, with Costain remaining responsible for managing and delivering a wide-ranging programme of capital maintenance works across United Utilities' water, wastewater and bioresources assets

University of Sheffield research suggests combining farming and solar power could generate four times Britain's electricity demand A new study suggests the UK could dramatically expand renewable energy generation without reducing food production, by adopting an emerging technology that allows solar panels and agriculture to coexist on the same land. Researchers at the University of Sheffield have found that agrivoltaics—the practice of integrating solar photovoltaic panels wi

Construction of the Burton Green tunnel on the HS2 route has reached a significant milestone after engineers installed the final roof section, allowing work to move from heavy civil engineering to landscape restoration. The completion of the structural shell marks the end of a major phase of construction on the Barton Green tunnel, a 16-metre-wide twin-box structure that will carry high-speed rail services beneath the village of Burton Green, near Kenilworth. Designed by the

Network Rail is facing growing scrutiny from the rail regulator after reducing planned infrastructure renewals, raising concerns that asset condition targets for England and Wales will not be achieved by the end of the current funding period. The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) has warned that cuts to renewal activity, introduced to address financial pressures, are leaving the infrastructure manager on course to miss key infrastructure sustainability objectives set for Control

Major maintenance scheme will strengthen one of Britain's most challenging roads A major programme of engineering and safety improvements will see lengthy closures introduced on the iconic Cat and Fiddle road as Derbyshire County Council undertakes extensive maintenance and stabilisation works. The A54, one of the Peak District's most recognisable driving routes, will close in two separate phases spanning late 2026 and spring 2027 to allow engineers to carry out road repairs,

A key Lancashire road closed for more than 18 months following a significant landslide has moved into the construction phase, with engineers beginning work on a permanent retaining wall designed to reopen the route safely. Lancashire County Council has confirmed that on-site construction has started on the B6236 Haslingden Old Road in Hyndburn, where a major slope failure in January 2025 forced the closure of the road after part of the carriageway and its retaining wall colla

Transport authority says loans are funding long-term investment rather than day-to-day operations Transport for London (TfL) has responded to criticism over its borrowing levels after new analysis identified it as the UK's most indebted local authority body, with outstanding debt approaching £14 billion. Figures published by the TaxPayers' Alliance (TPA) estimate TfL's borrowing stood at £13.9 billion during the last financial year, accounting for almost one-tenth of the reco

Rail passengers using a number of stations in and around London will soon encounter taller ticket barriers as part of a £33.4 million programme aimed at reducing fare evasion and protecting millions of pounds in railway revenue. The Department for Transport (DfT) has announced a package of security upgrades that will be delivered by six train operators across England, introducing redesigned ticket gates intended to make it significantly harder for passengers to bypass station
