As part of a A$55m ($39.5m) contract, Decmil Southern will design and construct a new interchange at Albany Highway and Menang Drive, a section of the Ring Road south to Lancaster Road and the design of the project’s second phase works.
Subject to securing environmental approvals, the second phase of the project will extend the Albany Ring Road from Lancaster Road to Princess Royal Drive.
Australian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said: “Our focus is getting people back into work quickly, which is why we allocated $1.5bn across Australia, and $223m in Western Australia, to prioritise shovel-ready projects and targeted road safety works that can provide a boost to the economy and support jobs immediately.
