Statement – Job-creating transformation of Mitchell Freeway now underway
A transformation of the Mitchell Freeway is now underway, with the $448 million upgrade set to provide a major boost to the local economy and support more than 2,200 local jobs.
Three separate projects have now commenced construction. When completed, they will help bust congestion and transform travel to and from Perth’s booming northern suburbs.
The $232 million Mitchell Freeway Extension project will extend the freeway north from Hester Avenue to Romeo Road and is anticipated to create more than 1,200 local jobs.
Fast tracked to boost the economy through COVID-19, the project is being delivered by the Mitchell Extension Joint Venture, a consortium of BMD Construction and Georgiou Group.
Australia’s Federal Infrastructure Budget for 2021
The Australian government has announced an additional $15.2 billion in new infrastructure funding in the 2021-22 Budget to help aid economic recovery from the CCP virus pandemic.
The additional funding adds to the $110 billion 10-year building plan investment that already formed part of the National Economic Recovery Plan which the government says will support around 30,000 jobs across the country.
Nation-building projects were the focus of the infrastructure spending, with a $1 billion boost for the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, bringing the total commitment to $2.5 billion, and another $1 billion to the now $3 billion Road Safety Program.
