Leighton wins Central-Wanchai Bypass tunnel contract in Hong Kong

24 February 2014
Leighton Asia has secured a A$453 million ($406 million) contract to construct the tunnel buildings, systems and fitting out works associated with the Central- Wanchai Bypass (CWB) tunnel in Hong Kong.

The contract is the third project to be awarded by the the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's (HKSAR) Highways Department to Leighton on the CWB project.

It follows the award of contracts to construct Central Interchange and the Central Reclamation Phase III in 2009.

Under the latest contract, Leighton will install specialist electrical and mechanical (E&M) works, road tunnel wall cladding, the tunnel roof thermal barrier and the road pavement construction for the complete tunnel.

The deal also includes the construction and fit-out of ventilation buildings and an administration building.

Project works, which will commence immediately, are expected to be completed by 2018.

Leighton said the Central to Wanchai Bypass is a strategic East-West highway route for traffic between the central business district and the population centre in the Eastern part of Hong Kong Island.

After completion, the route will allow traffic to bypass the heavily congested roads along Hong Kong Island's north shore Wanchai and Causeway Bay area.
