project
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 5, 2012--
AECOM Technology Corporation (NYSE: ACM), a leading provider of
professional technical and management support services for government
and commercial clients around the world, announced today that it was
awarded a design contract for the final leg of Anthony Henday Drive in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The Alberta government signed a 34-year public-private partnership (P3)
contract with the Capital City Link General Partnership to design,
build, operate and partially finance the highway project. The P3
contract is worth US$1.8 billion.
AECOM is the lead designer for the Flatiron-Dragados-Aecon-Lafarge
design-build joint venture company. The project includes 17 miles of
six- and eight-lane divided roadways, nine interchanges, two road
flyovers, eight rail crossings, and 46 bridge structures, including two
bridges across the North Saskatchewan River.
“This is a great opportunity to partner with the province, delivering
new, high-quality transportation infrastructure in an accelerated manner
under a single P3 contract,” said AECOM Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer John M. Dionisio. “Together we will develop a project that will
provide for a safe transportation network bringing both mobility and
further economic growth to the region."
The ring road, once completed, is designed to reduce commute times and
traffic congestion in the area.
