LEACH HIGHWAY–WELSHPOOL
ROAD INTERCHANGE PROJECT
1312. Hon Dr BRIAN WALKER to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer the minister to the Leach
Highway–Welshpool Road interchange project commenced by Main Roads in
early 2021 and scheduled for completion in early 2023 at an estimated cost of
some $136 million.
(1) Is the project on track for completion in the
coming months; and, if not, what revised completion date is envisaged?
(2) Is the
project likely to come in on budget; and, if not, what revised figures are
available?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
(1) Yes.
(2) The figures for the project are being reviewed in
light of cost escalations across the entire construction industry.
