Cimic Group chief executive officer Michael Wright said: 鈥淐imic and CPB Contractors have worked collaboratively with the NSW government and Roads & Maritime Services to develop a value-for-money construction program that will deliver high-quality roads assets that are resilient to future needs. The Northern Road upgrade project will support the development of an upgraded road network and capitalise on the benefits from the new Western Sydney Airport at Badgerys Creek, which CPB Contractors is now proudly laying the foundations for with its JV partner.鈥�
