The M1 Pacific Motorway extension to Raymond Terrace has reached a critical milestone with the start of girder lifts for the northern interchange, marking significant progress on the $2.1 billion project. This extension, divided between two contractors, sees Seymour Whyte working on the northern section (Heatherbrae to Raymond Terrace) and John Holland Gamuda Australia Joint Venture handling the southern section (Black Hill to Tomago). The girder lift phase involves massive girders being hoisted into place, a key step in constructing the elevated structures of the northern interchange. This work is essential for creating a seamless connection between key interchanges, designed to ease congestion and improve traffic flow for an estimated 25,000 vehicles that currently face bottlenecks in the region. Once complete, the interchange will streamline movement between Newcastle and the Hunter region while enhancing safety and efficiency along the M1 corridor. The project is expected to open in mid-2028, creating a faster, more direct route from Sydney to Brisbane with improved access for local traffic and freight. #Infrastructure #M1Extension #CivilEngineering #RaymondTerrace #NSWRoads #RoadConstruction

Calling it a “transformative project,” Brownsville Navigation District says deepening the 17-mile-long Brownsville Ship Channel from 42 feet to 52 feet will improve navigational safety and enable larger commercial vessels to access South Texas.

Our dedicated and experienced?#LevelCrossings?design team can assist with?#levelcrossing?work bank planning. This particularly includes using a risk-based approach to identify level crossing closure opportunities or cost-effective safety upgrades. It's exactly what was done on?The Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) project; in GRIP Stage 3 a total of 37 level crossings were assessed against planned Project impacts and suitable design options produced for level crossing closures and upgraded protection solutions. Depending on the unique circumstances at each crossing, the closure options identified included replacement vehicular #bridges, #bridleway bridges, #footbridges and diversions. Having worked closely with the Project team and?Network Rail, the culmination of this work is the proposed closure of all the existing level crossings on the core route between?#Leeds?and?#York?which will result in a safer and more resilient railway.

A six-year construction project to connect roads on both sides of a river near the Port of Rotterdam has finally been opened to traffic. The Blankenburg Connection (Blankenburgverbinding) now links Vlaardingen on one bank with Rozenburg on the other in a new traffic arrangement that will ease the congestion around Europe’s largest sea port. The project, ordered by the?Rijkswaterstaat (Dutch Infrastructure and Water Management ministry),?saw the construction of a new motorway, the A24, to connect the A20 and A15 motorways, including?a tunnel under the River Scheur (described in detail in?Maritime Journal?here). The link road is also home to a new land tunnel called the Hollandtunnel. One of the most challenging aspects of building the connection was the sub-river tunnel, the Maasdelta Tunnel, which was built in two sections and immersed. Construction of the tunnel elements was carried out at the Damen Verolme shipyard at Botlek, whose giant 405m long, 90m wide drydock was just large enough to accommodate them. The pits were flooded, becoming tidal to accept the sunken tunnel elements, which are?each 200m and 185m long, 42m wide and 8m high. sunk to a depth of 28m and leading to another complex junction at Rozenburg on the south side linking to the busy A15 motorway with connections to local communities. A ‘letterbox’ structure connects the tunnels,which were sealed by bulkheads. A steel profile of the same dimensions, called a Gina profile, created a water-tight seal between the tunnel element and access ramp, and Omega profiles formed the seams between the two tunnel elements themselves. Despite a few technical failures and delays,?both tunnel elements were eventually towed into place by Boluda tugs?supported by a flotilla of workboats and other support vessels.?They were sunk to 28 metres by slowly flooding tanks within the tunnels themselves while counteracting tidal flow. Tunnel elements of this size had never been built and sunk in the Netherlands before, at a depth of -30m NAP in a tidal river. Infrastructure and Water Management Minister Barry Madlener?officially opened the new A24 motorway on December 7. “With the opening of the A24/Blankenburg connection, we are really helping our country move forward,” he said. “We give road users more freedom of movement and the region more economic opportunities. As a member of parliament, I was involved in the decision-making process about this road and as a resident of the region, I know how important this connection is. Today I have the honour of opening this beautiful new highway. I am happy for the region and proud of the result.” The project was sponsored by Rijkwaterstaat and the BAAK consortium (Ballast Nedam and DEME Group).

International Day for Universal Access to Information: Safety on the Road is Everyone's Business On International Day for Universal Access to Information, we recognize the power of knowledge in building safer, more informed communities. Access to information is not just a right—it’s a responsibility we all share, especially when it comes to road safety. Accurate and timely information about traffic rules, safety guidelines, and road conditions can save lives. Whether you're a driver, cyclist, or pedestrian, understanding and respecting this information ensures that everyone gets home safely. Road safety is not just the duty of authorities; it’s everyone’s business. Let’s commit to staying informed and making our roads safer for all. Together, through knowledge, we pave the way for a safer future!

The Walk Bridge in Norwalk, Connecticut is a swing bridge built in 1896 that carries four tracks of the Metro-North Railroad line over the Norwalk River. Infrastructure solutions firm, HNTB replaced the swivel bridge with a vertical lift bridge that ascends and descends to let ships pass through — while maintaining railroad traffic over the existing bridge.
