Connect Roads is one of the UK’s largest private sector road operators from dual three and dual two lane motorways, to major trunk roads and major streetlighting projects.
Balfour Beatty Capital is an equity investor in highways and streetlighting facilities under the UK Private Finance Initiative.
Our expertise ranges from initial planning and design, feasibility and environmental studies, through to construction and ongoing maintenance.
The success of our projects is achieved through our emphasis on partnership, creating shared purpose and encouraging a culture of honest and open communication between all parties.
A significant road building project has the potential to create many challenges for all involved. Working closely with our partners we ensure that all affected parties are kept up to date with the latest information and that highway users are informed users. By effectively communicating intentions with regard to potential road closures, diversions and speed restrictions, we aim to minimise disruption to the local community.
We pride ourselves on being responsive to the differing needs of our clients customers, from the daily commuter to the holiday maker, the general motorist to the local resident, as well as parish councils and other community groups. To achieve this we liaise closely with the police, local authorities and local councils. Together we hold community meetings, undertake 'letter drops' and operate dedicated project helplines to ensure a rapid and coordinated response to queries.
