Airport Link - less than 6 months of construction to go

One of the largest infrastructure projects ever built in Australia is less than six months away from completion.

The Airport Link project remains on schedule for completion by 30 June 2012.

This complex project is now more than 95 per cent complete with 25 million hours worked since construction began in late 2008.

At Toombul the focus has now turned to the rehabilitation of Kalinga Park.

The massive acoustic shed built for the Airport Link’s Tunnel Boring Machine is being dismantled and the Airport Link tunnel roof at Toombul is now complete.

Across the entire project, the mechanical and electrical fit out of the tunnels is well underway, while surface support facilities are being removed to make way for landscaping, as reinstatement work takes shape across the project’s alignment.

Thirteen kilometres of new and upgraded cycle and pathways are being delivered as part of the project, and more than three hectares of new parkland will be provided to the community at completion.
