Allens has advised WestConnex Delivery Authority on the first construction contract for the WestConnex road project, being the widening of Sydney's M4 motorway.
Under the contract, signed last week, the Rizzani De Eccher Leighton joint venture will widen Sydney's M4 between Parramatta and Homebush from three lanes to four.
Construction will begin in early 2015.
The Allens team on the matter was led by Leighton O'Brien.
'We are proud to be involved in such a significant infrastructure project for New South Wales and the largest in Australia,' Mr O'Brien said.
'The Allens team, brought together from different practice groups, worked diligently to make sure we got the best result possible for the State of NSW.'
