The $543 million Tugun Bypass Project was a winner in the 2009 Australian Engineering Excellence Awards. It involved the full design and construction of a new seven kilometre long dual carriageway highway bypassing Tugun on the Gold Coast.
The bypass provides a high standard road link between the southern Gold Coast and northern New South Wales. It has met its aim to reduce congestion on the Gold Coast Highway, and has decreased the travel time from Currumbin toTweed Heads to five minutes.
It was forecast that without this bypass, delays of up to 30 minutes would have been commonplace by 2017 for travel between the Queensland and New South Wales borders.
