Project and construction management support on the Eastern Freeway Burke to Tram Alliance — the interchange that connects Melbourne's Eastern Freeway to the North East Link tunnels.
The North East Link (NEL) is the Victorian Government's largest infrastructure investment in Melbourne's north-east, designed to transform the city's transport network. The project includes a 6.5km tunnel from Watsonia to Bulleen, filling a crucial gap in Melbourne's freeway system — removing 15,000 trucks from local roads each day and cutting travel times by up to 35 minutes.
Upgrades to the Eastern Freeway and M80 Ring Road introduce new lanes, smart motorway technology and a seamless connection into the North East Link tunnels. The Eastern Freeway Burke to Tram Alliance (EBTA) is delivering the freeway and interchange works, with Bulleen Interchange the critical junction between the two.
Works span structures, utilities, drainage, road pavement and environmental treatments across a live freeway corridor carrying more than 100,000 vehicles a day.
Super T bridge structures and steel flyovers forming the new interchange ramps and freeway connections.
Hardstand construction and laydown areas supporting heavy structural and piling activity.
New pedestrian bridges, underpasses and shared user paths reconnecting communities across the corridor.
Relocation and protection of major services to clear the interchange footprint ahead of construction.
Noise attenuation and flood protection structures shielding surrounding Bulleen and Yarra floodplain areas.
ITS integration for smart traffic management, alongside landscaping and tree planting across the project area.
Pivot Engineers provides embedded project and construction management personnel to the EBTA delivery team — supporting site supervision, programming, cost and subcontractor management across structures, utilities and pavement packages at the interchange.
Our people work inside the alliance, resourcing peak workfronts and maintaining continuity of delivery through staged traffic changes and complex interface coordination with authorities and adjacent contractors.
The Bulleen Interchange is the connection point between Melbourne's Eastern Freeway and the North East Link tunnels at Bulleen, Victoria. Delivered by the Eastern Freeway Burke to Tram Alliance, it includes new bridge structures, steel flyovers, floodwalls, pedestrian bridges and shared user paths.
