Construction update – March 2018

Welcome to the March 2018 construction update for the Transmission Gully motorway project.

Good progress is being made on multiple fronts along the new 27-kilometre Transmission Gully motorway. Although many of these works aren’t visible to the public, significant earthworks continue, with many parts of the alignment now built up to subgrade level (the final level before road pavement construction begins). Many of the structures are now taking shape, with works on the project’s largest structure, the Cannon’s Creek bridge, building momentum.

Here’s the latest from the team on what’s been happening across the Transmission Gully project in the last month, and what’s coming up.
