Consortium wins Slovakia bypass job

A consortium will carry out a major bypass project in Slovakia’s capital Bratislava. The consortium comprises Spanish construction firm 930 Cintra, as well as Australian companies 2378 Macquarie and 3976 Porr. The partners will build part of Bratislava's (Slovakia) ring road. The contract also includes a 30 year management period for a 27km stretch on the D4 motorway and a further 32km stretch on the R7 motorway. The contract will be formalised once all the documentation is verified by the Slovakian Government. The project will be partly financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) through a €150 million loan.
