Project Introduction
As part of the Tonkin Gap Alliance, Georgiou Group - in alliance with Main Roads Western Australia, Public Transport Authority, BMD, WA Limestone, BG&E and GHD - is delivering the Tonkin Gap project.
The Tonkin Gap Project will address the current bottleneck where the highway reduces from three lanes to two in Bayswater and Redcliffe, significantly reducing travel times and improving safety.
The Associated Works will provide rail-enabling works for the METRONET Morley-Ellenbrook Line along Tonkin Highway, including underpasses and dive structures, to enable trains to enter and travel along the median of Tonkin Highway then exit in Malaga.
