| 摘要： | While the industry is left reeling, consultants can still count their wins after the Welsh Government's controversial plans to scrap the bulk of its road-building programme. A total of ￡43.7m had been spent on the 51 projects that eventually went through the Welsh Government roads review as of 14 February, when ministers announced results that left contractors disheartened as hundreds of millions of pounds of construction work was cancelled. Of those projects reviewed, 15 will continue - plus two new National Transport Delivery Plan (NTDP) projects - but nine were scrapped altogether and 15 were 'superseded by new programmes,' which effectively means these current proposals are dead. The biggest scheme to be ditched was a proposed ￡300m 'Red Route' on the A55 in Flintshire. A host of consultants worked on the long-running proposals, with AECOM appointed back in 2012 to advise the Welsh Government. In 2017, AECOM and Richards Moorehead & Laing (RML) were recruited as design consultants before Capita and George Corderoy were then signed up to provide further advice in 2019 on the proposals, which proved controversial due to plans to cut through ancient woodlands. |
