VINCI Construction renews its multi-year highways maintenance contract with Hertfordshire County Council in the United Kingdom

• A contract to service more than 5,000 km of roads and pavements north of London
• A seven-year initial term, with potential extensions until 2046
• Worth at least €65 million (£55 million) a year

Hertfordshire County Council, north of London, renewed its long-term highways contract with Ringway, VINCI Construction’s UK-based subsidiary specialised in road services and infrastructure – which has been responsible for the contract since 2012.

The new seven-year contract will start from 1 October 2025 and includes potential extensions until 2039 then 2046.

The contract, worth at least €65 million (£55 million) a year, covers maintenance and upgrade work on more than 5,000 km of roads and pavements, street lighting and signal repairs, surface water drainage, fixing potholes, and running seasonal gritting, grass-cutting and improvement schemes, as well as responding to emergencies.

Building on breakthroughs introduced under the previous contract, including the pothole-preventing robot and electric gritter, Ringway will support the community on its future steps towards carbon-neutral operations by 2030, for example by introducing more electric vehicles to its fleet, scaling up recycling, and using recycled and recyclable materials wherever possible.

Ringway manages several multi-year maintenance contracts in Great Britain, covering around 50,000 km of urban roads, highways and motorways.
