Our team to deliver Western Highway Duplication Section 2B for VicRoads
22 February 2018
CPB Contractors has been selected by the
Victorian Government to
deliver the
Western Highway Duplication Section 2B, as part of a 50:50
joint venture.
The
design and construct contract will generate revenue of approximately
$42 million for CPB Contractors.
Construction is expected to commence in March 2018 and conclude in
approximately mid-2020.
CPB Contractors Managing Director Juan Santamaria said: “Delivering new
and upgraded transport infrastructure within operational
road
environments is a core capability for CPB Contractors, and our priority
is the safe and efficient management of these live networks during
construction.
“We are pleased to contribute our cost-effective design and construction
solutions to develop and deliver
VicRoads’ planned public transport and
community benefits, including maximising participation opportunities for
Victorian workers and businesses.”
The joint venture, with
Seymour Whyte Constructions, will undertake
works on the 12.5km section between Buangor and Ararat to deliver an
upgrade to two lanes in each direction, with additional turning lanes; a
new
bridge over the
railway line; two new bridges over Hopkins River;
and an interchange at Hillside Road, with entry and exit ramps.
As the principal road link between
Melbourne and
Adelaide, the Western
Highway serves interstate trade between Victoria and South Australia.
With traffic expected to increase in the future, the Australian and
Victorian governments have committed over half a billion dollars to
upgrade the Western Highway through various stages of works expected to
be completed by 2020.
