  Eiffage, in a consortium, wins the contract for a new bridge in Leverkusen
                 (Germany) for a total value of EUR180 million

Eiffage, through Eiffage Métal and its subsidiaries SEH (Germany) and Iemants
(Belgium), recently won, in a consortium with Hochtief and Max Bögl, the
contract to build a new bridge on the Rhine in Leverkusen, Germany. The
contract amounts to EUR180 million in total, with Eiffage's share worth EUR116
million. The new 2x3 lane bridge will be located on the A1 motorway linking
Leverkusen and Trier. This project aims to double the capacity of the
undersized existing structure and is part of ongoing bridge improvement plans
in Germany.

Awarded by Autobahn GmbH (the company responsible for managing Germany's
motorway network), the contract covers the construction of a 1,068-metre-long
structure comprising a 689-metre cable-stayed metal section and a concrete
section.

The metal components, almost 16,000 tonnes of steel in total, will be
manufactured in the Group's European factories before being transported along
the Rhine to the bridge site. Eiffage will be drawing on all its production
capabilities to help complete this large-scale structure.

As consortium lead, SEH will be responsible for overall coordination of the
project, including the works schedule and all bridge equipment, as well as
design of the cable-stayed section, and assembly of its metal components and
cables.

Works are to begin immediately, with handover scheduled for early 2024 at the
latest.

Eiffage Métal has previously built several metal structures in Germany,
including the Hochmosel bridge, completed in 2020 and one of the largest steel
viaducts in the country, and the Elbe and Zollelbe bridges currently under
construction in Magdeburg.
