The $1.4 billion Brisbane Metro is a 21-kilometre transport network operating on existing busways – with a redesigned bus network. Brisbane Move Consortium designed and delivered major project works, including the delivery of a 213-metre tunnel, upgrades to Adelaide Street, refurbishment of Victoria Bridge, bus station upgrades, and delivery of integrated charging facilities.
The Judging Panel commended the project for its sustainable development approach and focus on whole-of-life emissions reduction. The Panel recognised the key technical achievements including the strengthening of Victoria Bridge using an external post-tensioning solution with Ultra-High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete blisters, and the delivery of a mined tunnel beneath Adelaide Street that minimised disruption to sensitive buildings and city activity.
