Laing O’Rourke has secured the contract to deliver works on the Sydney Yard Access Bridge project, which is part of the New South Wales Government’s $11.5 billion Sydney Metro project.
As part of their contract, Laing O’Rourke will be responsible for the design and construction of the Sydney Yard Access Bridge – a bridge for controlled heavy vehicle access from Regent Street into Sydney Yard at Central Station. This new bridge will help facilitate the construction of the Sydney Metro project.
“Laing O’Rourke has a long and proud history of delivering major metropolitan rail projects around the world, including here in Sydney.
“The contract was signed with Transport for New South Wales last week, making our role official and signalling the start of work on the design phase of the project,” said Laing O’Rourke’s Regional Director Mark Dimmock.
