Decmil Southern Pty Ltd has been chosen to deliver the $175 million Albany Ring Road Construction project. Set to begin in September, this project will unlock hundreds of local jobs.

According to Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack, the Albany Ring Road is an important piece of infrastructure that will underpin the economic success of the Great Southern Region.

Scheduled to be completed in 2023, the project will improve connections between major freight infrastructure which includes airports and commercial and industrial areas to create more economic opportunities.

The Albany Ring Road project is expected to support more than 1,000 jobs during the life of the project, with a Local Industry Participation Plan tailored to give local businesses opportunities to get involved in the project, generating employment and building their skill base.

The project will include grade-separated (bridged) interchanges at the intersections of Albany Highway and Menang Drive; Albany Ring Road and South Coast Highway; Albany Ring Road, Hanrahan Road and Frenchman Bay Road; and Frenchman Bay Road and the freight railway line.

The Australian Government is providing $140 million towards this $175 million project, with the Western Australian Government contributing $35 million.
