Susan Stewart of Link Employment Training, Dandenong, and Robert Williams of Berwick Financial Planners.SOUTHERN and Eastern Integrated Transport Authority (SEITA) chief executive Ken Mathers said work was well advanced all along the 45km Eastlink toll road.
Mr Mathers said the project was Australia’s biggest road project and would employ thousands of people until completion in 2008.
He was addressing the Casey Business Development Group July breakfast meeting at Olivers on Clyde, Berwick.
He said work had started on bridges in the Dandenong Frankston area and major bridge construction over the Princes Highway would begin later this year.
The freeway, popularly known as the Scoresby Freeway, will have 86 bridges.
Mr Mathers said the bridges were being built early to provide easy truck access to the work and that the freeway would have shared paths along the entire route.
The interchange with Monash Freeway will be one of the biggest and busiest freeway interchanges in Victoria.
It will provide movements in all directions except the southeast movement.
The Monash Eastlink interchange will have nine bridges and the Eastlink tollway will pass under the Monash Freeway.
