Understanding the whole of life cost of road infrastructure early, offers governments, local authorities, private road agencies and asset owner’s the best value for money options, sooner.

The sense of urgency to deliver smarter, safer and more affordable roads to help improve traffic flow is demanding efficient road infrastructure that offers network reliability, certainty of journey time and is sensitive to the environment.

Assess the life of your asset portfolio, explore how to maximise capacity of existing infrastructure and find least life cost alternatives to enhance the performance of your network.

For 80 years, we’ve helped clients renew and expand road assets, sustainably.

Bega Bypass

image

In May 2009, the Labor Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly MP, announced that GHD would partner with the RTA for the Concept and Detailed Design of the HW1 Princes Highway Bega Bypass.  Since then work on the design, geotechnical investigation and review of environmental factors for the bypass has progressed significantly, with documentation for construction tender having been completed.

The project includes 3.6 km of two lane rural highway, three bridges connecting communities with the Bega township, four reinforced soil retaining walls and three intersections.  The purposes of the project are to accommodate B-Double movements and to create the potential for reduced crash rates in the area by creating better transport pathways for local communities and highway users.

This rapid expansion is driving an increased focus on safety in conjunction with the development of an efficient road transportation network. The rapid rate of growth, urbanisation and increasing vehicle registrations, coupled with extensive road construction programs are factors leading to higher than average accident rates in these regions.
