MILAN, Sep 4 (Class Editori) - After the award of the maxi-order of 1,4 billions of dollars in Canada, the efforts of Salini Impregilo are now employed on Australia. The construction group led by Pietro Salini, according to what was learned from MF-Milano Finanza, is part of one of the three consortia admitted to the short list for a public-private partnership contract for the construction of a road link between the M80 Ring Road motorway and the Eastern Freeway in the city of Melbourne.
