Banora Point Upgrade moves ahead
Friday, 21 August 2009
The $310 million Banora Point Upgrade, Pacific Highway NSW, is
moving ahead with work set to commence on the detailed design of the
upgrade, as well as environmental management plans and community
consultation.
The alliance team has been named for the Pacific Highway upgrade
and consists of Abigroup Contractors, Seymour Whyte Constructions
and engineering firm Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation.
Construction is expected to get underway later this year and is
scheduled for completion in 2012. It is also expected to support up
to 290 direct jobs in the local economy.
Once completed, this section of road will be a six-lane dual
carriageway from Barneys Point Bridge to the Tweed Heads Bypass,
while the existing Pacific Highway will be maintained as a local
access road. This will improve road safety and result in shorter
travel times for motorists.
