ACCIONA was awarded the contract to upgrade the Belford to Golden Highway section of the new England Highway.
The project requires ACCIONA to provide two travel lanes in each direction on the New England Highway and a flyover for vehicles turning right from the Golden Highway towards Maitland and Newcastle.
As part of the project, ACCIONA will also build a roundabout on the Golden Highway with a connection to the New England Highway -providing safer access to adjoining properties- and a new 30-meter-long, three-span bridge over Mudies Creek, designed to withstand possible flooding.
The project awarded to ACCIONA, is part of a $97 million project funded by the New South Wales government.
