Road widening on the Tullamarine Freeway in the Australian city of Melbourne is helping to cut congestion. The US$962 million (A$1.3 billion) project is nearly complete, but the sections finished already are now having a positive benefit for traffic flow. This has reduced journey times to and from the city’s main airport, with further benefits expected once the work on the route is completed in August 2018.
The upgraded and improved freeway is also benefiting from some of the latest traffic technology, including sophisticated tolling and traffic management systems. This further helps traffic flow as well as helping make the route safer for drivers.
