CIMIC's construction arm bags $114.69m contract

It will turn 3.6 km of a two-lane road to a four-lane divided road in Western Sydney’s Northern Road.

SGX-listed CIMIC Group’s construction business CPB Contractors was awarded a $114.69m (A$119m) contract by the New South Wales government to deliver the Northern Road upgrade between Eaton Road and Littlefields Road, which is said to be an important component of the Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan, an announcement revealed.

The Northern Road is a key north-south road corridor between Liverpool and Penrith. CPB Contractors will upgrade 3.6 km of existing two-lane road to deliver a four-lane divided road, and upgrade 2.5km of local arterial roads and adjust public utilities. The corridor intersects with major roads such as the Great Western Highway, M4 Motorway, M12 (proposed), Elizabeth Drive, Bringelly Road, and Camden Valley Way.

Construction is expected to commence in mid-2019 and finish in 2021.
