Bypass contract awarded
A computer rendering of the northern interchange of the final stage of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass, linking Rankin Park and Jesmond A contract for the design and construction of the fifth section of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass, getting underway later this year, has been awarded to Fulton Hogan Constructions Pty Ltd. This section of works will deliver the ‘missing link’ of the bypass
between Rankin Park and Jesmond, meaning a faster, safer commute for locals who will be able to bypass 11 sets of traffic lights along this notorious stretch of road. The contract will also involve delivering an early works package, on Lookout Road and McCaffrey
Drive, to enable Fulton Hogan to accelerate work around the southern interchange later this year. Major work is expected to start in October this year with the first cars expected to drive along the new bypass in 2025. (continued on page 7)
