Major work contract awarded for Alfords Point Road upgrade

The contract to construct and design the Alfords Point Road upgrade has been awarded to Nace Civil Engineering Pty Ltd.

Member for Miranda, Eleni Petinos, said the NSW government funded project would provide significant benefit to the community.

“The community will be kept informed as work on the project progresses including any changed traffic conditions” Petinos said.

The project will involve road resurfacing, as well as the building of a new truck inspection area underneath Old Illawarra Road Bridge.

Member for Heathcote, Lee Evans, said the $40 million project will include the separation of north and southbound traffic.

“Alfords Point Road is a key route in southern Sydney and provides an important crossing of the Georges River to connect New Illawarra Road and Fairford Road,” Evans said.

“Work would also include improving pedestrian and cyclist facilities and installing noise walls near residential areas.”

A total of seven businesses expressed interest in delivering the upgrade after tenders were called in September 2015.

Similar work on the road was completed in 2011 to upgrade the northern approach.
