NSW Government Ultimatum: Restart M6 Motorway Tunneling or Face Legal Action

The New South Wales government has given builders of the M6 underground motorway in Sydneys south an ultimatum: resume work by May 1st or face legal action. The project, initially scheduled for completion in 2024, has been delayed multiple times and now faces a new setback due to a sinkhole. The government is demanding that the contractors, CPB Contractors-led group, cover the costs for the stoppage and finish the final 10% of tunnelling. The projects budget has also increased by $93 million, bringing the total to $3.193 billion. If the current team fails to resume work, the government may hire a new team to cut down on delays. Meanwhile, the Great Western Highway over the Blue Mountains remains closed due to surface cracks.
