Dutch group Heijmans has said that the Directorate-General for Public Works & Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat) is planning to award the contract for the A4 road from Delft to Schiedam to the A4ALL joint venture comprising Boskalis, Heijmans and VolkerWessels.
The Heijmans part of the contract is said to be valued at more than €125 million.
