High-quality infrastructure is at the core of BridgeCon’s leadership in the Australian infrastructure sector.

The North, South, East, and West Packages, known as the Freeway Packages, will connect the M80 Ring Road to the North East Link Tunnels, upgrade the Eastern Freeway, and deliver the new Doncaster Busway from Doncaster Park and Ride to Hoddle Street.

BridgeCon brings its expertise to the Burke to Tram section, supporting the delivery of premium infrastructure for Melbourne’s expanding transport network. This project enhances road capacity, improves travel times, and delivers more reliable public transport options for the community. Through innovative solutions and technical excellence, we help ensure the success of this critical infrastructure upgrade.
