Shortlisted contractors for the Tonkin Highway Extension and Thomas Road Upgrades can now submit an RFP (Request for Proposal) for the first stage of works in Western Australia.
The two short-listed alliances can now submit proposals for the works, which will provide a non-stop transport link between Oakford and Mundijong, enhancing access to ports and the south west, and growing residential and commercial areas to the south, west and east.
The shortlisted consortia are made up of the following companies: Tonkin Extend Alliance (Laing O’Rourke, Garli, WSP and Arcadis); and Tonkin Extension Alliance (Georgiou, BMD, Civcon, GHD and BG&E).
Perth’s south-west corridor is being enhanced with a 14 kilometre extension of Tonkin Highway to South Western Highway and upgrades to Thomas Road, to reduce traffic pressure and improve connectivity.
