Project description

This project has constructed 155km of four-lane divided highway between the Arrawarra Interchange in the south and the Ballina Bypass in the north. The project included upgrades of the existing northbound carriageways of the four-lane divided sections at Glenugie and Devils Pulpit and upgrades of the intersections at the existing four-lane divided section at Halfway Creek.

The upgrade has been delivered using a Tailored Delivery Partner model. Under this model, a major provider with design, building and management expertise was engaged to oversee the project in collaboration with the NSW Roads and Maritime Services Pacific Highway Office.

Benefits

This project completed the four-lane divided highway between Sydney and Brisbane, and resulted in a continuous four-lane divided road between Brisbane and Melbourne. The project has:

Improved road safety by separating traffic and providing more rest opportunities for drivers
Enhanced economic efficiency by reducing travel times and fuel costs for transport operators and for motorists during holiday periods
Improved access and amenity for local residents through new interchanges and bypasses of towns along the route

Funding

The Australian Government committed up to $3.7 billion (excludes planning and pre-construction) towards the project.

Timetable

The project started in mid-2015 and was completed in late 2020.
