The M5 East in Sydney's south east opened to traffic in December 2001, and is one of the busiest motorways in Australia, transporting close to 150,000 vehicle journeys per day.
Given the high volume of traffic the motorway sees each day, a project as significant as resheeting the 4km dual carriageway tunnel and two exit ramps required careful planning to mitigate impacts on motorists.
The scale of the project saw the M5 East team bring in additional resources and expertise from across Ventia, including our VBA team who are responsible for the Stewardship Maintenance Contract in Sydney's south.
A reduction in traffic on Sydney roads as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic gave the team the opportunity to deliver this large project in a shorter time frame.
