The company is already working with Highways England to deliver the A1 Scotswood to North Brunton project, all of which are part of the regional development partnership for the North of England.
Malcolm Bell, programme director at Costain, said: "These critical projects are supporting the region’s economy by improving traffic flow, connecting businesses and communities. Our use of digital tools to improve productivity and effectiveness throughout the programme will enable the timely delivery of safer, greener and more efficient roads."

Tim Gamon, regional delivery director for Highways England in Yorkshire and the North East, said: "We're delighted to be working with Costain and Jacobs on these two major upgrades, both of which will be a massive boost for the region’s economy, creating jobs during construction and assisting the region’s future growth. They will also increase capacity along the existing carriageway, meaning safer, smoother, more reliable journeys for thousands of people using these sections of the A1 every day. Bringing a wealth of expertise to our latest schemes, we look forward to working with them to progress both for the wider benefit of the region."
