CPB Pty Ltd and BMD Constructions Pty Ltd, Fulton Hogan Construction Pty Ltd, and John Holland Pty Ltd are the three shortlisted companies.

Almost 45 kilometres of the Monash Freeway will be upgraded including widening from four to five lanes each way between the EastLink interchange and the South Gippsland Freeway, and from two to three lanes each way through to Clyde Road in Berwick.

Smart technology involving new and upgraded ramp signals and variable message signs will be installed to help prevent traffic banking up and causing congestion and crashes. A 20 per cent reduction in serious crashes is expected by creating smoother traffic flow onto and along the improved route.

The tenders will be assessed according to a range of criteria including value for money, innovation, experience, and approach to design and construction within the existing freeway including minimising disruption to traffic and the community.

A range of early work has already been completed in preparing the tender requirements including environmental studies, pavement testing and working with local councils on planning for the project.

The successful company will be appointed mid-2016, with construction to commence later in the year and completed by the end of 2018.
