In June, our team reached a major milestone during the first weekend closure on the Eastern Freeway between Hoddle Street and Burke Road.
During a major weekend closure, crews completed critical drainage and ITS crossings, removed 7 high mast light poles and 2 overhead gantries, and carried out a major clean-up before reopening the freeway on time for Melbourne's Monday morning commute.
This milestone has set the project up for future works and marks an important step forward for the Eastern Freeway Upgrades. Take a look at what the team achieved in just one weekend.
A huge shout out to everyone involved for delivering this complex program of works safely and on schedule.
