Project Summary

Recognised as one of the “most complex highways engineering schemes in the UK”, the Churchill Way Flyovers project has made an “outstanding contribution to the daily lives”, and notably the “safety”, of the people of the North West region, specifically the residents of Liverpool. Honoured with the “Constructability Award” by the ICE (North West), this “never before seen in the UK” solution is now an exemplar project and case study for the industry. A range of avenues to strengthen the Flyovers were explored, but the deterioration of the structures, and the limited availability of as-built information, determined that they could not be implemented. The estimated cost of replacing the Flyovers was between £50m and £60m. Our solution, which was considered the safest and most economically viable option, was delivered at a cost of only £6.75m.
