Laing O'Rourke to deliver Lloyd Street Extension Project in Western Australia

Laing O'Rourke, AECOM and Arcadis, together with Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA), are proud to announce that the Greater Connect Alliance has been awarded the contract to deliver the Lloyd Street Extension Project in Western Australia.

Together with MRWA, the Alliance will deliver the final section of Lloyd Street, including a new bridge over the Helena River and a new connection to the Great Eastern Highway Bypass. This achievement continues our long-standing partnership with MRWA in delivering major infrastructure projects that benefit Western Australian communities.

The contract award follows four years of extensive consultation with Traditional Owners undertaken by Main Roads WA, which has resulted in an informed revised bridge design balancing cultural heritage, environmental protection and improved transport outcomes.

Together, we will deliver a project that will improve connectivity, reduce congestion and enhance safety on the approach to Midland from the south. The project will also provide improved access to the Hazelmere Industrial Area, Midland Health Precinct, Curtin University's Midland campus, commercial centres and surrounding residential communities.

Mark Dimmock, Laing O'Rourke’s Managing Director - Australia, said “We’re thrilled to see this important project move forward and to see the benefits this will bring to a congested road network. We deeply appreciate MRWA’s commitment to continuing this collaboration and look forward to delivering outstanding outcomes together.”

The Lloyd Street Extension is the first stage in a broader program of planned transport improvements.

Throughout delivery, the Alliance will leverage innovative design and construction approaches to deliver value for money while creating employment, training and upskilling opportunities for Aboriginal people.

Design for the Lloyd Street Extension Project will continue throughout the remainder of 2026, with construction expected to commence later this year and completion anticipated by the end of 2028.
