STATERoads and Ports Minister Tim Pallas had a front row seat to watch beams for a 200-metre bridge installed over Cardinia Creek as part of the Pakenham bypass.
Mr Pallas visited the bypass with project officials last week.
The bridge beam installation marked a significant milestone in construction on the $242 million project.
Scheduled to be completed by the end of this year, the 20-kilometre freeway will enable traffic to bypass seven sets of traffic lights allowing for smoother travel along the Princes Highway and provide a continuous freeway link between Beaconsfield and Nar Nar Goon.
Mr Pallas said the Pakenham Bypass was an exciting project.
“The Casey-Cardinia corridor is one of the fastest growing in the state and increased demands are being placed on the existing road network,” he said.
Bridge to success for Pallas
