VIC:Princes Highway duplication to begin 2011
MELBOURNE, Dec 17 AAP - A company has been chosen to duplicate the Princes Highway
between Waurn Ponds and Winchelsea, southwest of Melbourne, clearing the way for construction
to start early next year.
BMD was revealed on Friday as the successful bidder for the $220 million contract.
The Princes Highway will be duplicated between the Geelong Ring Road, near Draytons
Road, and Lennox Street, Winchelsea.
The upgrade, which will be jointly funded by the federal and state governments, will
provide 23 kilometres of divided two-lane highway.
The works will include the construction of a new bridge to carry Colac-bound highway
lanes over the Geelong-Warrnambool railway line, as well as an upgrade of the existing
highway bridge, to carry Geelong-bound traffic.
