The work is in alliance with two other Australian firms – infrastructure construction firm McConnell Dowell and engineering consultancy Aurecon – and two UK-based companies – engineering consultants Mott MacDonald and designer Arup.

Cimic Group said the scope of work for the projects includes works at three locations along the Glenelg Tram Line in Adelaide.

The group said, “works along the tram corridor, modifications of the existing tram overpass at South Road, replacement of the level crossings at Marion Road, Cross Road and Morphett Road with tram overpasses, intersection upgrades, tram depot upgrades at Glengowrie, and a temporary tram maintenance depot on Peacock Road on the edge of the CBD” were also scheduled.

The plan also calls for signal upgrades along the tram corridor and the creation of new public spaces, said Cimic Group.

CPB Contractors expects to generate revenue of about AU$212.8 million (US$139 million)

Cimic Group Executive Chairman Juan Santamaria said, “These upgrades will be critical to supporting economic growth in South Australia and reducing travel times for motorists, buses, freight and airport traffic, while promoting sustainable urban growth and low emission, healthy transport choices for commuters.”

Site investigations to inform planning are underway. Major construction will start in late 2024 and the level crossings will be removed by the end of 2025.
