Macmahon wins $40m Bunbury contract

Macmahon Holdings has secured a $40 million contract to construction the new Bunbury port access road, with work to start early next year.

The project involves the construction of 4.5 kilometres of a new dual lane access road, three new bridges and approximately 3 kilometres of work to widen existing roads.

Macmahon chief executive Nick Bowen said the contract is another significant project win for the group's Western Australian construction team, which has worked with Main
Roads WA for more than 25 years.

"Through our recent work on the Mitchell Freeway and the current contract for the Reid Highway extension we have developed an excellent community relations process, which will ensure the needs of the many different stakeholders are taken into account," Mr Bowen said.

The Bunbury Port Access Road Project will improve road safety by reducing heavy vehicle traffic on the existing bypass road and reduce conflict between heavy vehicles, tourists and commuters.
