The first two pieces of Footscray station’s new footbridge have been lifted into place. The work is part of the $51.2 million Footscray Renewal program.

The bridge will improve access to platforms, incorporating stair and lift access to all platforms.
A new Western Freeway route between Melton and Bacchus Marsh is a step closer.
John Holland and AECOM will join VicRoads to build the new road through Anthony’s Cutting. Major construction is scheduled to begin in early 2010 and is due to be completed in 2012.
The new route through Anthony’s Cutting will eliminate the tight curves and low-speed section of the Western Highway. This section has seen 21 casualty crashes over the last five years.
The completed Western Freeway route will deliver major economic benefits for the road freight industry and its customers. Significant travel time and cost savings can be expected for goods and produce transported between Melbourne, Ballarat, Western Victoria and beyond.
The new freeway alignment will extend for five kilometres between Harkness Road in Melton West and Bacchus Marsh Road in Bacchus Marsh.
