High Speed 2 (HS2) engineers have lifted the first 90t beams into place for the Thame Valley Viaduct, the first major rail viaduct in the UK to have been manufactured off-site.

Shropshire Council has granted listed building consent for works to take place on a 19th century bridge near Oswestry that was damaged when hit by an HGV earlier this year.

Somerset Council has signed Kier to its eight-year £225M road maintenance contract to look after the county’s 6714km network.

Arup, Mott MacDonald, WSP and Balfour Beatty are among numerous tier 1 contractors and consultants that have been paid a share of the £1.25bn spent to date on works for the scrapped Phase 2 of High Speed 2 (HS2).

Work is set to restart on the £55M project to create two new stations in the Black Country, after local transport chiefs confirmed that Kier will take over from failed Buckingham Group.

A section of Botley Road beneath a railway bridge next to Oxford station will remain closed until October 2024 due to “unique challenges” in the £161M station works, Network Rail has confirmed.

Kier has purchased the rail division of Buckingham Group following its lapse into administration.

A £3M overhaul of vital coastal flood defences in Plymouth begins today and will see Kier conduct the work on behalf of the Environment Agency.

Before the return of Parliament and new work ramping up, organisations including Buro Happold, Kier, Network Rail, the UK Atomic Energy Authority and more have made significant appointments.

NI Water has awarded an early contractor involvement (ECI) contract to Kier-Bam joint venture and Stantec for the delivery of the Belfast Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTW) upgrade.
