50,000 tonne milestone reached as Freeway makeover moves ahead of schedule
More than 50,000 tonnes of asphalt has now been laid to improve the South Eastern Freeway between the Toll Gate and Crafers, as works move ahead of schedule.
The major asphalting works – the first on this section of the Freeway in more than 20 years – are progressing so well that the next stage of works, covering the outbound lanes between the Heysen Tunnels and Measday Bridge, have been brought forward to start this week.
Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Corey Wingard, said this will move the project ahead of schedule, reducing disruptions for motorists after the winter break.
