The Concrete Roads programme? What is it?

Highways England has put out a call for eight contractors to work on a five year long mammoth scheme to replace 1,000 km of concrete road. The scheme has been split into three frameworks, focusing on reconstruction, lifecycle extension and design, according to a prior information notice issued on OJEU. Around 4% of the road network will be resurfaced under the contract, between 2020 and 2025. The three frameworks will cost £330M in total and has been named the Concrete Roads programme. The construction of the national highway network is a basic service industry in national economy, which is also introduced in the journal of Modern Transport.

Modern Transport is a scientific and technical professional periodical for international publication, with a focus on civil engineering (road and bridge) and transportation engineering. It is a window to show the wisdom of traffic science and technology workers. At the same time, it also provides a stage for transportation to demonstrate its construction technologies, standards of management and scientific researches at home and abroad. It has columns of road engineering, bridge and tunnel engineering, traffic engineering (including intelligent transportation), port and shipping engineering, transportation economy and logistics and others.

 

This journal aims to advance transportation science and technology, to stand at the forefront of the development of modern transportation technology, to base on comprehensive transportation technology, and to highlight the academic progress and development of highway engineering, water transportation engineering, transportation engineering, transportation planning and management practices, etc. It publishes articles and developments with high academic and technical aspects in the field of transportation. Submissions from everyone are sincerely welcomed. Access more details about this journal at: http://ojs.usp-pl.com/index.php/MT
