Roads are a critical element in the design of site infrastructure. They provide vital access to the outside world, help to knit developments together and create living, breathing communities. By connecting buildings and spaces and providing links to car parks and transport interchanges, roads are the key to unlocking the potential in a project, whatever its size or location.

Buro Happold has a long track record in road construction projects around the world. These range from regeneration schemes and new building developments to public highway improvement work for partners such as Dorset County Council. Our long experience of meeting the needs of both private developers and local authorities ensure our designs comply with the latest planning requirements for road schemes.

Drawing on the multi-disciplinary skills within our Infrastructure Group we cover all aspects of road construction, including pedestrian and road bridges, tunnels, viaducts, culverts, pavements, signage, lighting and drainage. Our engineers are familiar with a wide variety of design challenges, such as the linking of new roads into the existing infrastructure, utility diversions, traffic management and road safety.

As a company at the forefront of environmentally responsible development, Buro Happold always aims to implement sustainable transport solutions. By carefully integrating roads, car parks, public transport and cycleways, our urban designs can help to minimise environmental impact and give the travelling public alternative, ‘greener’ ways of getting from A to B, perhaps by using several means of transport.
