The £340 million contract was awarded to MVM, a joint venture groups made up of Vinci, Sir Robert McAlpine, Morgan Est, Gifford and WSP.
The £340 million widening of the 23 mile stretch works out at just under £15 million a mile for just one extra lane.
The M1 widening from junction 6-13, and 21-42 is opposed by the No Widening M1 Alliance.

ADDITIONAL FACT : We will resist this widening, and all the other widenings from Luton to Leeds....polar bears not traffic jams!
