en.Wedoany.com Reported - Blacktown City Council has appointed Georgiou Group as the principal contractor for the Pelican Road Bridge project in Schofields, New South Wales, with a contract value of $11.6 million.

The project will involve constructing a new 36-meter-long road bridge over Eastern Creek, serving as a vital transport link in one of Sydney's fastest-growing residential areas in the west.

The Pelican Road Bridge will improve connectivity between the emerging residential area and key local destinations, including Jerralong Drive, Schofields railway station, and nearby shopping precincts. Upon completion, the new bridge and associated road upgrades will provide safer and more efficient travel conditions for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists, while also helping to unlock future housing growth potential in the region.

The scope of works includes preliminary works and utility upgrades, construction of a prestressed concrete (PSC) voided slab bridge over Eastern Creek, and associated road approaches. Other works encompass retaining walls, road safety barriers, kerb and gutter and line marking works, pedestrian refuges and shared pedestrian/cycle paths, as well as landscaping to complete the corridor.

The project is scheduled for delivery by November 2026.
