In April, project crews installed 42 beams for the twin bridges over the Waterways wetlands. 40 beams remain to be installed. New drainage and traffic lights were also constructed, and asphalt was laid on Lower Dandenong Road at Howard Road.
This month, Mordialloc Freeway project crews have planned to install beams for the bridge over Lower Dandenong Road, lay new asphalt on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway entry ramp at Springvale Road, build bridge retaining walls at Governor and Springvale roads, and continue work on the twin bridges over Bowen Parkway. They are scheduled to finish installing the remaining beams for the twin bridges over the Waterways wetlands.
