Since joining the STRABAG Group in March 2025, Australian infrastructure specialist Georgiou Group has secured a major contract in Perth WA to deliver the Reid Highway upgrades for client, Department of Main Roads Western Australia. The design and build contract, valued at approximately 125 million euros, includes the modernisation of the Altone Road and Drumpellier Drive/Daviot Road intersections on Reid Highway. The project aims to reduce congestion and improve safety and traffic flow in Perth’s northeastern corridor. Preparatory works have commenced, with completion scheduled for 2028.

Improved mobility infrastructure for Perth’s northeast

The Reid Highway is one of the region’s busiest freight routes and forms part of the strategically important east-west connection across Perth, the capital of Western Australia. The replacement with grade-separated interchanges will reduce congestion and ensure more reliable and safer freight transport. Moreover, it will improve conditions for commuters.
 
Additionally, a new bridge and several underpasses will enhance access for cyclists and pedestrians to the popular Swan Valley wine and tourism region. The project is jointly funded by the Australian Federal Government and the Government of Western Australia.

  • Georgiou and STRABAG are proud to be delivering this major infrastructure project in Australia. Australia is a prime example of our principle of global-local presence. This project marks a milestone in our shared journey and highlights the potential of our long-term partnership.
