Isaac Construction has been awarded a $4.8 million contract to deliver the Albany Street Connection project and the resurfacing of the road. Work on the Albany Street Connection involves pedestrian safety improvements including new crossings, as well as improved bus stops, new mobility parks and a two-way separated cycleway. The contract covers two pieces of work: $3.5m for construction of the Albany Street Connection and $1.3m to reseal the road at the conclusion of the work. Work to upgrade Three Waters infrastructure in part of Albany St — from Grange St to Forth St — will also be carried out in tandem with the Albany Street Connection project to minimise disruption in the area.
