Preface In April 2017, the decision was made to participate in the course CIE4061-09, Multidisciplinary Project. The main goal of this project is to combine different master disciplines while researching a real-life problem. A challenging project was found in Grafton (Australia), which offered us an interesting com- bination between Structural and Hydraulic disciplines of Civil Engineering. Six students of the Delft University of Technology, with backgrounds in the above mentioned expertises, were working on this project in order to seek possible solutions. During this project we have learnt to work in a country and environment unknown to us and working with software we did not use before. Besides, we have also learnt to combine our different Civil Engineering backgrounds in one final report. A special thanks is directed to the Clarence Valley Council for the opportunity to work on a project in the Clarence Valley.

When the new motorway opens in 2020 it will be necessary to extend Tourist Drive 22 from South Grafton in a southerly direction in order for it to join the new highway at the proposed Glenugie interchange. ii. Consideration will also need to be given to the future status of the current route of the Pacific Highway from South Grafton to Tyndale after the highway upgrade project is completed.
