CPB Contractors has been selected by Australian toll road operator 600 Transurban as the preferred contractor to deliver Victoria’s multi-billion dollar West Gate Tunnel Project in a joint venture with 7770 John Holland.
The West Gate Tunnel Project will address a number of critical challenges in relation to traffic, growth and liveability across Melbourne.
Design and construction works include widening the West Gate Freeway from eight lanes to 12 between the M80 Ring Road and Williamstown Road, as well as building a 2.8km eastbound tunnel and 4km westbound tunnel, a new bridge over the Maribyrnong River providing an alternative to the West Gate Bridge, an elevated road along Footscray Road to the Port of Melbourne, CityLink and the city’s north and major new cycling and pedestrian paths.
Subject to planning approvals, construction is expected to start in 2018 with the project scheduled to open to traffic in 2022.
