Work is underway on a major highway project in Victoria State, Australia. Geotechnical work and preliminary surveying is being carried out for the Monash Freeway Upgrade project. In all this project is worth some US$293.66 million (A$400 million). The geotechnical work includes testing of the road surface and stared on the stretch from Berwick-Dadenong North and will continue until late-February 2016. Meanwhile surveying is in progress at various locations along the freeway.
The main construction work is set to begin in 2016 and involves widening the freeway. Stretches with four lanes at present will be widened to five lanes while sections with two lane will be widened to three lanes. Much of the work will be carried out at South Gippsland Highway-EastLink interchange and Clyde Road. The upgrades will improve road safety, remove bottlenecks and cut travel times along the route.
