Winner named for £500m Heads of Valley final dualling

The Welsh Government has named the preferred bidder to deliver the £500m dualling of the last 18km leg of the A465 Heads of Valleys project.

Western sections 5 and 6 between Dowlais Top and Hirwaun are being delivered under the Welsh Government’s new Mutual Investment Model.

Preferred bidder Future Valleys consortium – consisting of Spanish giant FCC, Irish contractor Roadbridge, Welsh contractor Griffiths, engineer Atkins and investor Meridiam – is now set to build the huge road job using the Welsh private public partnership model.

A contract is expected to be signed off by the end of October allowing construction to start this year with the aim of completing Wales’ largest road project by mid-2024.

Ken Skates, Minister for Economy and Transport, said that the completed A465 Heads of the Valleys dualling had the potential to deliver economic growth which would be vital to the people of Wales.
