The new Houghton Highway bridge has been designed to withstand a 1-in-2000 year storm event. It’s the first of its type in Australia and among the first in the world to reflect the lessons learned when hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf of Mexico in 2005. KBR provided specialised structures, environmental and highway engineering services for the $315M duplication project.
