Tonkin Gap Alliance has started the design work on the A$400m ($280m) Tonkin Highway Corridor, the road and rail project.
The alliance, which includes Georgiou Group, BMD and WA Limestone, along with designers BG&E and GHD will deliver the detailed design and infrastructure works to remove bottlenecks such as improving traffic flows, travel times and road safety on Tonkin Highway between Morley and Redcliffe.

A combined staff of 90 will work with Main Roads Western Australia to complete design work to design the work on the Tonkin Highway Corridor.
Tonkin Gap project’s scope of work includes the upgradation of the section between Collier Road and Dunreath Drive to a three-lane, freeway-standard road to reduce travel times.
It has also been given the responsibility to perform rail-enabling works for the METRONET Morley-Ellenbrook Line, including modifications to Tonkin Highway between Railway Parade and Hepburn Avenue, along with the replacement of the existing Broun Avenue flyover.
Two dive structures will also be built at Bayswater and Malaga to enable the rail line to enter and exit the middle of Tonkin Highway.
