Design and construction of a new : 4-lane dual carriageway road, interchanges, a bridge, a cycle path, and a pedestrian path.
ACCIONA (60%), in a joint venture with Georgiou Group (40%), is delivering the design and construction of the Coomera Connector Stage 1 North package from Coomera to Helensvale.
With a total investment of AU$2.593 billion (€1.6 million), the North Coomera Connector will be 4 km long.
The project will improve the safety and efficiency of the network, increasing capacity and traffic flow, as well as reducing both travel time and queuing at interchanges.
