AECOM, an infrastructure consulting firm, along with partners Acciona and MACA Civil, has been selected as the preferred proponent to help deliver a major package of works with the North East Link Program (NELP) in Victoria, Australia — the state’s biggest road project and largest-ever investment in Melbourne’s northeast.
AECOM is expected to provide a range of engineering, design and advisory services to support the development and delivery of the project.
The North East Link Program seeks to provide a safe, efficient freeway connection for more than 135,000 vehicles a day. It also will enhance access to major suburban business and employment centers, improve orbital road connectivity across Melbourne and boost the capacity of the city’s freight network.
The North Package, one of the North East Link Program’s five major packages, includes the design and construction of the North East Link between M80-Plenty Rd interchange and the north tunnel entrance
