• Skanska finally starts £1bn Black Cat A428 road scheme

    After legal challenges and delays, Skanska finally started work on its £679m A428 Black Cat dualling job in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire yesterday.
    Transport minister, Anthony Browne, broke ground on the project yesterday to mark the main start of construction on the scheme which will involve a total investment of £1bn.
    Plans from National Highways will see the creation of a new 10-mile dual carriageway linking the A1 and A421 Black Cat roundabout in Bedfordshire to the A428 Caxto
