Client
Lippe local authority in East Westphalia
Project volume
EUR 136 m (gross)
Contract period
2009 – 2034
Whilst the local authority is still responsible for running the roads, Eiffage Infra-OWL are managing all construction work. They are preserving the substance and, for example, repairing wear and weather damage.
The benefits: The local authority saves follow-on costs as the condition of the roads undergoes improvement in the long-term; functional and safe roads are made available to citizens. The Bundesverband für Public-Private Partnership (PPP Association) bestowed the project partners with the PPP Innovation Award 2010 for the concept and partnership.
