RA members CIMIC Group’s CPB Contractors and Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) are highlighting the benefits of disciplined project delivery as the Sydney Road to Edgars Road section of the M80 Upgrade is completed a year ahead of schedule.
Drivers are now able to use the upgraded section at speeds of up to 100km/h, with construction speed limits having been removed.
A commitment to sustainability has been a vital aspect of the project, with the equivalent of 3 million recycled plastic bags used in the freeway asphalt, and more than 47,000 tonnes of recycled concrete used throughout construction.
CPB Contractors also worked with a local Indigenous business, Bunji Hire, to secure a fleet of electric vehicles for use on-site in delivering this project, as well as for its work on the Monash Freeway Upgrade – Stage 2.
