Project Overview
The Works involves the reconstruction and upgrading of approximately 1.5 km of Alfords Point Road in the City of Bankstown, between Alma Road and Alfords Point Bridge. The existing three lane road (essentially northbound carriageway under tidal flow traffic) is to be widened to a four lane divided carriageway. A new southbound carriageway bridge will be constructed over Henry Lawson Drive. The works include the construction of southbound carriageway and central median, reconstruction of Clancy Street on-ramp and Henry Lawson Drive on-ramp southbound, new 3-span bridge over Henry Lawson Drive and provision of a shared pedestrian path/cycleway on eastern side of Alfords Point Road, from Clancy Street to Alfords Point Bridge then south to Fowler Road, Alfords Point and landscaping improvements.
Project Challenges
Alfords Point Road is a major traffic corridor of Sydney and currently operates under a tidal flow arrangement. Construction of the road widening while maintaining existing traffic conditions is the main challenge of the project. The works to construct the new bridge over Henry Lawson Drive presents challenges that include replacing existing bridge bearings under live traffic, working from heights,working under high voltage transmission power lines (132kv), working over live traffic on Henry Lawson Drive.
Project Value
$23.2 Million (inclusive of GST)

Any specific OH&S or environmental issues
 Works are being undertaken in close proximity to existing private properties and as such environmental considerations to issues such as noise, vibration and dust need to be monitored to minimise the impact of the works on the existing environment. Specific OH&S issues include working from heights,working under high voltage transmission power lines (132kv)and working over live traffic on Henry Lawson Drive.
