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.
