Owing to the successful delivery of Phase 1 and the smooth running of Phase 2, CRL Chesterfield are pleased to announce they have recently been awarded the 3rd Phase of the refurbishment works to the A19 Tees Viaduct with an award value of £4,78mil.

The A19 Tees Viaduct, or Tees Flyover is a high level six-lane dual carriageway road bridge in the Northeast of England carrying the main A19 trunk road north–south across the river Tees. It has a total length of 2.9km.

Since opening in November 1975, the structure has had problems with corrosion and repairs have been necessary at various times through its life to increase the longevity of the structure.

The Chesterfield office has been working on this structure since October 2020 when we were appointed as specialist sub-contractor by Sir Robert McAlpine (SRM), the Tier 1 Maintenance Contractor to the Autolink BDFO. CRL has worked collaboratively with SRM on the 3rd phase of the project which includes concrete repairs, surface preparation and cathodic protection to a further sixteen bents/piers along the viaduct.

 

The works have been split into 3 phases;

 

• Phase 1 - 29 weeks programme valued at £506K (October 2020 - June 2021)

 

• Phase 2 - 57 weeks programme valued at £2,54mil (June 2022 - July 2023)

 

• Phase 3 - 124 weeks programme valued at £4,78mil (works started in December 2022 with a completion date of May 2025)

 

This is the largest bridge repair project outside of the Highways England Framework to be awarded to CRL, with a total final anticipated value of £7,83mil.

 

Contracts Manager Carl Fox commented - “The key to the ongoing success of this project is due to the collaboration between CRL, Sir Robert McAlpine, and the Designers AECOM. This has helped with forming an excellent understanding between all parties, resulting in everyone working to achieve the same goal.”
