Cool! Thanks!

Got any of those renders of what is happening on the Monash between Warrigal and Stud Roads?

nope, but basically it's an extra lane in both directions between the tunnels and Dandenong north. We'll end up with a nice 60km long stretch of 8-lane freeway.

The state and federal budgets are being released next week, it''ll be interesting to see if any more road projects will be included.

here's a simulation of the project:
Brumby's $360m road blowout - National - theage.com.au

looks outragously wide at one section, with like 6 carriagways!

Excellent! That and the new Pakenham bypass will make the trip to Warragul even shorter.

The paky bypass has been open from December, about time too because the original highway is a P.O.S.

next up is the Deer Park bypass, with a very large T-intersection with the m80, one of the ramps being 2km long.

Hopefullly our leftist governemnt will approve that 18km road tunnel aswell.

Oh the Paky bypass has already shaved at least 10 minutes off the trip. It's great! Well I think so, I'm not so sure the dog agrees now his potty stop is no more!
