Rozelle Interchange shortlist announced
28 May 2018
NSW Government:
Construction of the
M4-M5 Link, the most
important stage of
WestConnex is moving ahead with applicants
shortlisted to build the WestConnex Rozelle Interchange and Iron Cove
Link.
Minister for WestConnex Stuart Ayres said JCL Joint Venture (John
Holland,
CPB Contractors,
Lend Lease) and SCS Joint Venture (Salini
Impregilo,
Clough Projects,
Samsung C&T) have been shortlisted to the next
stage of the bidding process, after a rigorous evaluation process.
“The M4-M5 Link is the most critical section of WestConnex and will for
the first time link the New M4 and New M5 motorways, providing seamless
underground travel for tens of thousands of vehicles every day,” Mr
Ayres said.
“The Stage 3A mainline
tunnels will run for 7.5 kilometres between
Haberfield and the New M5 in St Peters with four lanes of traffic in
each direction, connecting to the Rozelle Interchange and Iron Cove Link
(Stage 3B).”
The Rozelle Interchange and Iron Cove Link will provide a new
underground motorway interchange to City West Link and underground
bypass of
Victoria Road between Iron Cove Bridge and Anzac Bridge with links
to the future
Western Harbour Tunnel.
Bidders will develop, refine and optimise solutions for the design and
construction of the Rozelle Interchange and Iron Cove Link, using a
Collaborative Contractor Client model led by
Roads and Maritime Services.
The CCC model will allow the NSW Government and industry to work
together to knowledge share and leverage the opportunities of the
project.
Construction of the M4-M5 Link tunnels is expected to start later this
year and open to traffic in late-2022 with the Rozelle Interchange and
Iron Cove Link operational about 12 months later.
The next stage of WestConnex, the New M4 twin tunnels between Homebush
and Haberfield are set to open in the first half of next year with the
New M5 tunnels to open in 2020.
