The NorthConnex project, a nearly $3 billion project, is under construction right now and is supporting nearly 9,000 direct and indirect jobs.

The Moorebank Intermodal Terminal will create another 1,300 indirect jobs and will enhance freight routes in our country. The Nowra Bridge is a $310 million project that will create 300 direct jobs and provide a three-minute time saving.
