Murphy JV on board for £93.4m Cambridge station contract
Construction & Build
Network Rail has awarded the main £93.4m contract to build the new Cambridge South railway station to J Murphy & Sons Ltd and its delivery partners Alstom and South Rail Systems Alliance.
Murphy has already been carrying out enabling works and has now been confirmed as contractor for the main build.
Katie Frost, Network Rail’s route director for Anglia said:“Awarding the delivery contract is a significant milestone for the Cambridge South project which will allow us to complete this exciting new station for Cambridge.
“I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Murphy, as we move into the main work phase and build on the early enabling work that has already been delivered.”
Joe Kennedy, Project Director for Murphy said:“We’re very excited to be continuing our work on Cambridge South Station.
“Murphy has made significant progress over recent months completing the enabling works, commenced installation of all four platforms, station building piling and undertaken all groundworks to facilitate the track being realigned during a blockade in December 2023.
“We have forged a strong working relationship with Network Rail and our other delivery partners, SRSA and Alstom on this major infrastructure project and look forward to completing this station for the people of Cambridge.”
