The Eastern Creek Roadworks package of works was successfully managed through a GC21 contract process.  The project team were collaborative and open in their communication with the client, ensuring key project objectives and milestones were achieved.

Staging plans were developed to maintain normal traffic flows during the reconfiguration and signalisation of Lenore Drive and Archbold Road. High impact activities were carried out at night to minimise traffic disruption during the day.

With works undertaken close to significant Aboriginal Heritage sites, particular care was given to investigate and salvage Aboriginal artefacts with the assitance of an Aboriginal Heritage Archaeological Consultant

Extensive environmental controls were also implemented to manage significant open excavations and protect nearby waterways.  Clean water drains were constructed around the high sections of the site, diverting water whilst numerous dirty water drains and temporary retention basins were constructed to manage several significant rainfall events.

The upgrade and extension of Archbold Road will provide a key route between the Great Western Highway and Old Wallgrove Road, providing access to the Western Sydney Employment Area and the neighboring residential suburbs of Mount Druitt, Minchinbury and Colyton.
