Webuild, as part of the design and construction joint‐venture, will design and build twin three‐lane tunnels approximately 6.5 km long, among other related works. The tunnelling work is part of the Primary Package that the Spark consortium was awarded by the North East Link Authority, which is  overseeing  the  development  of  the  entire  project,  fixing  the  missing  link  in  Melbourne’s freeway network between the M80 and the Eastern Freeway in the city’s northeast. The PPP will adopt  an  Incentivized  Target  Cost  contracting  structure  that  encourages  transparency  and  collaboration between the client and the Spark design and construction joint venture.  Visit https://www.tenders.vic.gov.au/contract/view?id=195348 and https://www.webuildgroup.com/en. 43/21.
