At Bouygues Construction Australia, we are dedicated to the design, construction, and delivery of nation shaping projects across civil infrastructure, engineering, and energy and services. We have proudly been working in Australia for more than 25 years. Our local experience in underpinned by significant global expertise and resourcing.
The Project
The Consortium of John Holland, Bouygues Construction, Arcadis Australia, Jacobs and Ventia has been selected to build South Australia's biggest-ever road infrastructure project. In partnership with the South Australian Government, this consortium forms the Torrens to Darlington (T2D) Alliance. The Torrens to Darlington (T2D) Alliance, will deliver the final 10.5km section of the North-South Corridor, forming a continous 78 km, non-stop, traffic light-free motorway, and contributing to a long-lasting legacy for the community and people of Adelaide.
The T2D Project involves constructing two seperate tunnels - the Southern Tunnels and the Northern Tunnels connected by an open motorway, with a combined total distance of 10.5km, open to traffic in 2031. The T2D Project comprises the tunnels, surface works including road and bridge construction in addition to services buildings and complex mechancial and electrical infrastructure. The T2D Alliance is committed to providing opportunities for local people, Aboriginal workers, apprentices, trainees, and job seekers who are long-term unemployed and offers people an incredible opportunity to be a part of an iconic project.
