Seymour Whyte, a subsidiary of VINCI Construction, has secured a contract worth $86.2m to build a new 349m bridge on the Kings Highway, above the Clyde River in New South Wales, Australia.
Under the terms of the contract, Seymour is responsible for the demolition of the existing bridge and construction of the new one, including abutment works.
The scope of the project also covers an improved approach to the bridge, wider lanes and shoulders, safety barriers, and landscaping work on the riverbank.
Earlier, Seymour Whyte supported Transport for NSW (TfNSW) in design improvements to constructability and environmental outcomes.
Construction work will be undertaken by working closely with stakeholders, including the local aquaculture industry.
The project will see the implementation of control measures for erosion, sediment, biodiversity, and translocation of seagrasses to preserve natural environments.
