For the first time in more than 67 years, Nottingham has a new river crossing.  Last week, the 87-metre, 161-tonne Waterside Bridge was lifted into place over the River Trent – connecting the Trent Basin area and Lady Bay and bringing communities in Nottingham and Rushcliffe closer together.  Delivered on behalf of Nottingham City Council through the SCAPE Civil Engineering framework, the bridge will create safer, greener routes for pedestrians and cyclists, supporting a more connected and sustainable future for the city.  We’re proud to have played a part in this historic moment for Nottingham.   Watch the video to see this milestone come to life:  #Nottingham #Infrastructure #SustainableTravel #EngineeringExcellence #TeamSCAPE #BalfourBeatty

Great to see the continued investment in #Harrogate as work pauses for the festive period. The progress made this year, both on the network upgrade and through projects like the Coppice Valley biodiversity space, is making a real difference. Looking forward to seeing the impact continue in the New Year. ⚡🌿

Today, we had the pleasure of hosting a rail mayoral roundtable, where Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham; Rob McIntosh, Route Managing Director at Network Rail; Katie Day, Deputy Chief Executive at Transport for the North; Simon Warburton, Executive Director of Transport at West Yorkshire Combined Authority; and many other influential rail leaders from across the North joined us to discuss how rail can unlock regional growth and prosperity.     Our discussions delved into the pivotal role regional rail plays in developing skills, connecting communities and driving economic opportunity. We also emphasised the need to secure continued investment for the sector’s future.     Thank you to everyone who participated in such an engaging and thought-provoking conversation. We are excited to build on these ideas and work together towards a better, greener future.     #ExpertEngineers #Skills #BalfourBeatty #creatingtomorrowsrailway

We're delighted that the Bradford City Centre Walking and Cycling Improvements project won the National Infrastructure Project of the Year Award at the 2025 Constructing Excellence National Awards. The national judges praised the project as “a blueprint for how infrastructure can drive social impact, sustainability and culture, not just transport outcomes.” The project has transformed Bradford city centre by improving infrastructure and taking cars, buses and lorries out of the city centre. This included the creation of large green spaces such as the expansion of Norfolk Gardens with its beautiful landscaping and design making the area safer, greener and more inviting for the public and visitors alike. A huge congratulations to all involved in the delivery of the project! 🎉
