  • Contract 2 (Kelvin Road): Interchange at Kelvin Road (full connections) and the balance of Tonkin Highway widening.

An Expression of Interest was released on 11 October 2024 for contractors to tender for Contract 1 (Hale Road to Welshpool Road). A Design and Construct Contract is expected to be awarded in mid-2025.
