Upward and Forward

It’s a second big win from down under! Gamuda Australia, in partnership with Ferrovial Construction, has been awarded by the New South Wales Government to deliver the AUD$1.35 billion (RM4.1 billion) Coffs Harbour Bypass, which is part of the Pacific Highway upgrade program on the Mid North Coast. The new highway will reduce travel time along Pacific Highway by 12 minutes, bypassing 12 sets of traffic lights. Planning and detailed design works will commence immediately with the Bypass expected to be open to traffic from late 2026 and scheduled to be fully completed in late 2027.

We look forward to being part of this project that will reshape infrastructure connectivity across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane while boosting economic benefits for generations to come.

True to its namesake (the speedy messenger of ancient Roman gods), Mercury is the fastest planet in our solar system. It zips around our Sun at an average of 172,000 kilometres per hour — about 65,000 kph faster than Earth. A year on Mercury is equal to 88 Earth days.
