KBR to Support Major Transport Access Upgrade at Port of Esperance, Western Australia

KBR KBR announced Tuesday it has been awarded a design services contract for road and rail works at the Port of Esperance in Western Australia as part of the overall $120 million upgrade. The upgrade will facilitate future growth of the port and greatly improve safety for all users by separating local traffic from road and rail freight. Under the upgrade, 1.1 miles (1.8 km) of Harbour Road will be realigned to enter the port on the south side of the railway, while the railway will be relocated via a tunnel under Harbour Road to enter the port on the northern side. Two road bridges and a pedestrian/cycle underpass will separate local traffic from the new road and rail line to the port.
