Aggregate takes on £3.9m Interchange scheme
Leicestershire construction company Aggregate Industries has started work on the £3.9m project to overhaul Birmingham's bus routes and facilities.
Aggregate Industries was awarded the contract to manage improvements to the road infrastructure as part of the Birmingham City Centre Interchange scheme.
The project includes an upgrade to bus passenger facilities in the city centre, including a major overhaul of bus routes and stops which will see the introduction of six bus interchanges around the city centre in summer 2012.
It will pave the way for the Midland Metro extension from Snow Hill to New Street station, which is set to open in 2015.
Mike Archer, national contracting director for Aggregate Industries, said: "It is no secret the UK's highways are in a critical state and that investment in infrastructure is crucial in the journey to economic recovery in the UK.
"Schemes like the Birmingham City Centre Interchange Scheme are hugely important on both a regional and national level."
