Search for contractors to build A303 scheme launched

15 July 2019

The Government has given us the go-ahead to start looking for potential contractors to build A303 Amesbury to Berwick Down (Stonehenge) scheme.

We’ve placed a contract notice in the Official Union of the European Union (OJEU) to begin the 18-month process to find a world-class contractor.

This does not pre-empt the outcome of the current examination. We need to start our procurement now to ensure we can start work on schedule in 2021, if the scheme gets planning consent.

This is an important milestone for us as it demonstrates the Government’s continued commitment and shows we’re on track as planned.
