Opening to traffic in 2019, the $2.6 billion WestConnex Stage 1B, or the M4 East, extended the original M4 Motorway from Homebush to Haberfield, reducing congestion at the end of the M4, saving travel time for motorists and removing cars and freight traffic from local streets. It also bypasses Parramatta Road and connects to City West Link.
The project is predicted to accommodate an estimated 67,700 vehicles each day through 5.5 kms of tunnels with three lanes in each direction by 2021. The M4 East extension is in addition to the works currently underway to widen the existing M4 Motorway to four lanes in each direction from Church Street, Parramatta to Homebush Bay Drive, Homebush.
Our Advisors led the project teams during the procurement of the D&C contractor for this significant and iconic project and the services they delivered included:
Our Advisors coordinated inputs from the project team, including technical advisors (e.g. SWTC) and legal advisors (e.g. deeds). For the M4 East, our Advisors used a customised version of the ‘Accelerated Procurement’ delivery strategy that our Advisors originally deployed on NorthConnex.
In addition, our Advisors also supported the risk process throughout the procurement phase in conjunction with Sydney Motorway Corporation (SMC).
Our Advisors were requested by WestConnex Delivery Authority (now SMC) to design, deliver and lead the procurement phase for the M4 East to ensure extremely tight deadlines could be met.
