Two contracts worth $42 million came from the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads for road works on the Bruce Highway.
The first will see the construction of 5km of highway on a new alignment – including a rail overpass and overtaking lane – of the Bruce Highway between Sandy Corner and Collinsons Lagoon.
The project is expected to take 16 months with a peak workforce of 32 people.
On the second contract, VDM will construct a 1.5km realignment of the Bruce Highway near Gin Gin.
It will involve over 80,000cu.m of road excavation and should take a year.
These two contracts add to VDM’s list of WA works the company has claimed since the start of this financial year.
These include a $4 million project from the Public Transport Authority of Western Australia, plus two $5 million contracts for additional civil construction work on the Wellard residential development, and non-process infrastructure work for the Karara mine development.
