Australian Highway Job Is Signed, Sealed, Delivered

摘要

Australia's biggest public-private partnership highway project has been completed five months ahead of schedule in Melbourne. The $2.5-billion, 24-mile East-Link Motorway opened to traffic at the end of June and features what officials call "breakthrough" urban-design initiatives as well as the first application of a new joint-sealing system on noise-wall panels. The highway, owned and operated by ConnectEast Ltd, was designed and constructed in three years by Thiess John Holland, a joint venture between Thiess Pty Ltd and John Holland Pty Ltd, two of Australia's largest engineering and construction companies.
