Executive summary
In this report the case of Gateway Bridge and the Duplication of Gateway Bridge at Brisbane
constriction is considered. These bridges are situated at Australia and fetching compendium of
different significant requirements, processes and activities. This involves the great varieties of
factors and aspects to take into consideration. Hence, the decision making at those cased has proved
to be complicated and arduous to tackle. Hence, there is a high necessity of effective mechanisms to
counter the arising complicated scenarios. For this the multiple criteria assessment is undertaken in
the study. At first the project needs are derived from analyzing the business case. Next, the options
analysis is performed with suitable project definitions. Further, the project approaches are analyzed
with the discussion on the budgets, programs and risks.

Articulating and explaining the causes to develop the business case:
In the case of bridge construction the ultimate finishing depends on how effectively the
critical problems can be managed or decided. This is during the construction process. For getting the
project finished within time is essential to select the proper contractor to execute the tasks, pragmatic
schedule of time and essential management regarding a contract. Every bottleneck is attended as the
project’s joint effort. Here, here the management must be totally conversant with the rise of tasks in
bridge project from the advance (King, 2018). In the following study, the case of Gateway Bridge
and the Duplication of Gateway Bridge at Brisbane QLD is considered. The “Sir Leo Hielscher
Bridges” located at Brisbane, Australia are road bridges of side-by-side over the Gateway Motorway
that skirts the area’s ester suburbs. Further, the western bridge can carry the traffic towards the north.
On the other hand, the eastern bridge can carry traffic to the southern region. These are an extreme
crossing of Brisbane River and nearer to the Moreton Bay. It crosses the Quarries Reach the place
between Murarrie and Eagle Farm. Here, the main bridge that has been previously named as the
Gateway Bridge has been opened on 11th January of 1986. The cost is at about 92 Australian dollars
(Garber & Ralls, 2017). This duplicate bridge got opened during 2010 of May and with the expense
of 350 million dollars. Further, an important upgrade was announced in 2005 regarding Gateway
Motorway. Here, in that case the Leighton Holdings with the partner of AbiGroup was found to win
the development of the Motorway. Again the project of the updating of the gateway with A$1.88
billion has involved the duplication of Gateway bridge and updates of 12 mi or 20 km. It included
the gateway motorway originating from the Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road at the south towards Nudgee
Road situated at the north (Zaki & Tselios, 2016). Moreover, the duplication of the bridge has been
the biggest bridge and development of roads in the history of Queensland. This duplicate bridge has
been specified for having the design life of about three hundred years. This project of gateway
upgrade involved the duplicating of the current gateway bridge and updating of the twenty six
kilometers of the Gateway Motorway extending of the popular Mt Gravatt Capalaba Road. This is
ntended to be towards the Nudgee Road. Apart from this, virtually there are three projects existing in
one. This new Gateway Motorway deviation at the north extending seven kilometers. Then there has
been the southern upgrade of nineteen kilometers of a motorway. Lastly, there is the duplication of
Gateway Bridge.
