| Thiess’ Hunter Expressway contract finalised at $825 million Preliminary design and construction costing has been completed on the eastern section of the Hunter Expressway Project in NSW with the contract finalised at $825 million. The eastern section will be constructed by Thiess in alliance with Parsons Brinkerhoff (PB) and Hyder Consulting. The completed Expressway will cut travel times between Newcastle and the Hunter by 28 minutes. At 13.3km long, the Alliance section will include a four-lane divided highway from the end of the Newcastle Link Road to Kurri Kurri in the Hunter Valley. Thiess Managing Director David Saxelby said the main construction of the eastern section could now begin with the project expected to open for traffic prior to December 2013. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
