Road financing company ASFINAG has awarded ALPINE, FCC's Austrian subsidiary, several road construction and rehabilitation contracts worth a total of 79 million euro.

ALPINE will be rehabilitating an 8.5-kilometre-long section of the A1, Austria's West Motorway, near Auhof and Wolfsgraaben, for 26 million euro in an 18-month completion period.

It will also be building the new entrance to the B1 Wiener Strasse to Linz, after its intersection with road B-139. The project, which has an 18-million euro price tag, includes the construction of a 177-metre bridge and an array of noise protection measures.

ALPINE was recently awarded the contract to surface an 11-kilometre-long section of the Inkreis motorway, between Pichl and Meggenhofen, for 35 million euro. That work will be finished in December 2010.
