Contract awarded to deliver fast-tracked Mitchell Freeway Extension
The highly anticipated Mitchell Freeway Extension from Hester Avenue in Clarkson to Romeo Road in Alkimos is a step closer with the contract awarded to the Mitchell Extension Joint Venture (MEJV), a consortium of BMD Construction and Georgiou Group.
When complete this project, combined with the current widening works underway along the Mitchell Freeway northbound, is expected to save drivers travelling from the Narrows Bridge to Alkimos during the PM peak period up to 15 minutes’ travel time.
Fast-tracked to boost the economy post COVID-19, the $215 million freeway extension is expected to support 1,200 direct and indirect jobs during construction.
