The Townsville Ring Road – Stage 5 project saw construction of the final six kilometre section of the Townsville Ring Road and was delivered three months ahead of schedule and under budget. The project saw the duplication of the last remaining two-lane section of the Townsville Ring Road, covering a distance of six kilometres.
The Judging Panel acknowledged the successful delivery of the project and the agility of the contractor in responding to significant scope changes, cost escalations and the discovery of challenging materials unknown during the tendering phase. The panel further recognised that 84 per cent of the total project expenditure was with Queensland businesses.
