Enhancing Safety at the Bruce Highway / Walker Street Intersection
Bellwether Consulting Services is currently supporting a tier one designer and the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) in delivering strategic estimating services for the Bruce Highway / Walker Street Intersection Safety Improvements project. Following a tragic incident in March 2024 and subsequent coroner recommendations, the intersection has become a priority for infrastructure upgrades. With political momentum behind a roundabout solution, though community feedback remains mixed, Bellwether is ensuring all options are evaluated with precision and transparency.
Our team has been engaged to deliver cost estimates for five intersection upgrade options to inform the Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA), including:
- Detailed Probabilistic Cost Estimates
- Construction Schedule
- Escalation and P50/90 Risk Adjustments
- Supporting Risk Workshops
