About  the team

The $1.18 billion incentivised target cost contract has been awarded to CPB Contractors and Downer EDI Works in a joint venture for the Warringah Freeway Upgrade.

Improve interchanges with Falcon Street at Cammeray and High Street at North Sydney, including a new northbound on ramp at High Street which will ease pressure on the existing ramp at Berry Street.

Connections to the future Western Harbour Tunnel and Beaches Link.

Improved public transport links, with a continuous southbound bus lane from Miller Street to the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Around 2.5 kilometres of new and upgraded cycleways and pedestrian paths, integrated with public transport networks, including the future Victoria Cross metro station at North Sydney
