Opus International Consultants (Opus) has been confirmed by the NZ Transport Agency as part of the consortium to design and build the Huntly section of the Waikato Expressway.
The Huntly project consists of 15.2km of dual carriageway and will connect the Ohinewai section of the Expressway, in the north, to the Ngaruawahia section at Taupiri.
A total of nine bridges and two half-diamond interchanges will be constructed as part of the project. Construction of the section will start in late 2015, allowing the Transport Agency to remain on track to complete the full length of the Waikato expressway by late 2019.
When finished this section of the expressway will play a key part in the overall goals of increasing journey reliability, providing a safer travel routes and reducing travel time in and out of the Waikato says NZTA.
The contract was awarded by NZTA to a joint venture between Fulton Hogan and HEB Construction, with Opus and Jacobs Design providing design and construction services.
