Balfour Beatty has been appointed to a £315m, seven-year maintenance contract for Warwickshire's highways, renewing its partnership with Coventry City Council, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council and Warwickshire County Council.
Marking the third consecutive term for the company delivering highways maintenance for the three councils, the new contract will run until Spring 2033, with a possible six-year extension bringing the end date to 2039 and increasing the total value to £900m.
Balfour Beatty Living Places, the company's local road maintenance, street lighting and public‑realm service provider, will be responsible for a variety of road maintenance services to over 5,000km of roads, along with maintenance for over 55,000 streetlights.

Over the last fifteen years, we have worked collaboratively with our local authority partners to build a strategic infrastructure partnership that combines effective asset management and improving services to deliver strong, measurable outcomes.
