| 摘要： | The year started as it meant to go on with a collection of stories in the January/February edition of Highways that set the tone. The Department for Transport (DfT) permanent secretary Dame Bernadette Kelly told MPs 'the headroom for new projects in RIS3 (2025-2030) will be very limited'. This was the first signal of a shift away from new schemes that would be reiterated by National Highways' chief executive Nick Harris throughout the year, as he stressed that even the well-funded national operator would try to focus on smaller projects and maintenance. The change in tone was tempered by the naming of the Balfour Beatty as the first contractor to win a stake in the nation's largest road building project - the £9bn Lower Thames Crossing from Kent and Essex- in a deal to build the roads north of the Thames. By December, Balfour would be joined by Skanska, which will build the roads in Kent and Bouygues Travaux Publics - Murphy Joint Venture (BMJV), which will be responsible for the tunnelling. However, in a sign of the financial times, in March the Government announced that the project, which was due to begin in 2024-25, would be put back by two years. |
