Continued strong demand for civil engineering works: Bilfinger Berger awarded follow-up contract for Gateway Motorway in Brisbane

Bilfinger Berger Australia continues to benefit from ongoing high levels of investment in transport infrastructure. In Brisbane, a consortium involving the Company has been awarded the contract to upgrade another section of the Gateway Motorway. The project includes widening a four-kilometer long section of the motorway from four to six lanes and has a volume of around €160 million. Bilfinger Berger Australia and its consortium partner Leighton each account for half of that total. Bilfinger Berger’s total volume for the construction of the Gateway Motorway thus increases to over €550 million.

Bilfinger Berger has had a significant involvement in the design, expansion and maintenance of the new motorway link since 2006. The work to date has included the construction of a complex bridge structure, the modernization of an existing, parallel bridge and the expansion of a 20-kilometer section of motorway. The work will be completed as planned in mid 2010.
