WSP has been awarded a £12m four-year contract extension by Leeds City Council for its work supporting highways and transportation services in the city - the extension builds on more than 20 years of collaboration between the partners.

Under the renewed agreement, WSP will continue providing a broad range of technical and consultancy services across transport policy, traffic management, UTMC signals, highways maintenance and reconstruction, street lighting, civil engineering design, geotechnical services, flood risk management and wider engineering support.

Nav Gahonia, director at WSP, said: 'This extension reflects our shared commitment to delivering high quality infrastructure that supports the city's ambitions and serves communities across Leeds. We look forward to continuing to provide technical expertise, capacity and collaborative support as the Council progresses its transport priorities.'

Past projects delivered through the partnership include the replacement of the Regent Street Flyover, active travel and public realm improvements at locations such as the Corn Exchange, and upgrades to facilities like the Stourton Park and Ride.

Over the coming years, WSP said it will focus on helping the council deliver the Connecting Leeds Transport Strategy. The work will draw on WSP's local presence and multidisciplinary expertise, as well as decades of shared experience working alongside the Council's teams.
