Hunt Begins For Contractors To Deliver £5m Dalry Bypass Scheme
Interested parties are being invited to bid for a £5 million contract as part of the A737 Dalry Bypass project.
The A737 Den Realignment deal involves upgrading approximately 1km of the existing A737 between Beith and Dalry, including new junctions.
The contract notice has been published a week after the £31.2m A737 Dalry Bypass contract was awarded to the Farrans Roadbridge Joint Venture.
Transport Minister Humza Yousaf said: "I welcome the publication of the contract notice for The Den, which follows on from the £31.2m contract awarded last week to construct the A737 Dalry Bypass.
"This highlights the significant progress we are making towards improving the A737 for the North Ayrshire communities. The investment in improving the A737 will deliver upon completion, a number of benefits for the local North Ayrshire communities as well as road users travelling longer distances."
Interested parties will be shortlisted in the summer and contract award expected in Spring 2018.
