2025 Australian Construction Achievement Award

The New Bridgewater Bridge Project has been awarded the prestigious 2025 Australian Construction Achievement Award—one of the nation’s highest honours in infrastructure. Celebrated for its construction excellence, innovative design, and commitment to sustainability, the project stands as a landmark achievement for Tasmania and a shining example of Australian engineering. Delivered on time and on budget, the $786 million initiative is the largest transport infrastructure project in the state’s history, creating hundreds of jobs and driving long-term community benefits. This recognition reflects the dedication of McConnell Dowell, the Tasmanian Government, and countless partners whose collaboration brought this once-in-a-generation project to life.
