The ACT Government has been advised by Fulton Hogan, lead contractor for the Majura Parkway, that Hewatt Pty Ltd, the sub contractor responsible for earthworks, is likely to withdraw from the project.
Fulton Hogan, continues to provide assurances to the government that they will deliver the project on time and on budget. Fulton Hogan has also confirmed that arrangements for any remaining earthwork will be put in place.
Work to date on the Majura Parkway project has been progressing well with a substantial amount of the bulk earthworks complete.
Over the coming months the focus for the project will shift to the southern end of the alignment with work commencing on the construction of the new bridges over Fairbairn Avenue and Morshead Drive.
Overall completion is still scheduled for mid-2016.
The ACT Government thanks all road users for their patience and cooperation to date in enabling works to be undertaken in a safe and timely manner.
Once completed, the Majura Parkway, a joint funded Australian and ACT Government project, will deliver 11.5 kilometres of dual carriageway connecting the Federal Highway through to the Monaro Highway. It will play a significant role in improving the national and regional freight route as well as reducing traffic congestion and improving access to areas like Fyshwick and the Canberra Airport precinct.
