Highways England awarded a contract to Atkins Jacobs for the A38 Saltash Tunnel Control System FDS.

The Saltash Tunnel is located on the A38 in Cornwall, carries approximately 40,000 vehicles per day, and provides the only strategic road link between Plymouth and South-East Cornwall.

The tunnel is 410m long, three lanes wide, bi-directional, and is noted as the only tunnel in Europe, if not the world, to have tidal flow and be connected to a toll bridge.

It is operated locally and is not currently identified by Highways England to be operated centrally by the SW Regional Operations Centre.

The contract value is AUD 248,954.4.
