The New South Wales Government has announced the shortlisted tenderers for the design and construction of the $700 million New England Highway bypass.

The shortlisted bidders include Acciona Constructions Australia, Fulton Hogan Construction and John Holland.

The planned bypass of Singleton promises to improve the movement of freight and journeys for current and future traffic demands. The Australian Government has committed $560 million and the New South Wales Government is providing $140 million to deliver the bypass.  

Early work on the project is scheduled to start in late 2022, weather permitting, and the bypass is expected to open to traffic in late 2026. 

Federal Infrastructure for Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Catherine King, said  

“The bypass will remove one of the Hunter region’s most notorious bottlenecks.

“The 8km project will bypass five sets of traffic lights in Singleton’s CBD and remove about 15,000 vehicles a day from the town centre, ease congestion and improve safety as well as deliver time savings for thousands of motorists each day.

“It also delivers economic growth and will support more than 1,300 jobs during construction.”
