A joint venture including HOCHTIEF Group company CIMIC has been selected as the preferred contractor to construct a tunnel and road project in the Sydney region. The contract to design and build the M5 motorway will have a volume of 5 billion Australian dollars (AUD). CIMIC expects the official contract award within the next few months. The construction works are planned to start in mid-2016 and scheduled to be completed as early as by the end of 2019.
