Featured Project
Midland Highway – South Sections
Completed Aug 2021 to Feb 2024
The Department of State Growth $84.5M

Shaw upgraded 32 km of the Midland Highway near Ross and Oatlands, adding a safer median, new overtaking lanes, 58 km of safety barriers and 480,000 m² of new seal. Innovative lime stabilisation improved weak subgrades, cutting truck movements and environmental impact. Careful traffic management kept the highway open and key sections finished early. The project won the 2024 Civil Contractors Federation Tasmania Earth Award.
