	Eastern Freeway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eastern Freeway is one of Melbourne's major freeways, connecting Alexandra Parade and Hoddle St in the inner suburbs, with Springvale Road in Melbourne's east.
		Extensions to Ringwood are currently being done, due for completion within five years which will connect the Eastern Freeway with the new EastLink arterial, and under current plans, this section from Springvale Rd to Maroondah Hwy will be tolled with the rest of Eastlink.
		The Eastern Freeway was designed with the idea of constructing a heavy-rail track down its median, and engineering provisions for this had been made, examples include the lack of support pylons for bridges crossing the freeway and the generous space afforded by the median strip.

	South Eastern Freeway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The South Eastern Freeway is a freeway in South Australia linking Adelaide to the Princes Highway near Murray Bridge.
		As the first freeway in South Australia — and still the longest — it is frequently referred to by South Australians simply as "The Freeway".
		Prior to the construction of the freeway, all inbound and outbound road traffic to south-eastern South Australia and to Victoria had to travel on a two-lane highway originally built in the early part of the 20th century.

	Mitcham Frankston Freeway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The freeway is due to begin contruction in 2004, and is scheduled for completion in 2008.
		The Mitcham-Frankston Freeway was combined into a single project from the Eastern Freeway Extension Tunnel and the ScoresbyFreeway projects by the Victorian State Government in 2003.
		The standard tactic in such situations is to build a less controversial freeway that funnels massive amounts oftraffic onto local roads, then watch the traffic chaos and wait for the locals to beg them for a freeway around their suburb.

	Freeways stalled as costs soar - theage.com.au
		The troubled Eastern Freeway extension is set to be delayed by two years amid massive cost blowouts.
		The Eastern Freeway project involves extending the road to Ringwood from its current end at Springvale Road, including a tunnel under the environmentally sensitive Mullum Mullum Creek.
		The Eastern Freeway and its tunnel was budgeted at $326 million, but tenders received exceeded $400 million.

		Thus, the only freeway activity in South Australia for the next ten years was the construction of the South Eastern Freeway to Murray Bridge, which fell outside the built-up area of Adelaide.
		The abandonement of this freeway, the last surviving element of MATS, had a tremendous impact on the Highways Department as it was the first time in their history that the Government had rejected the strong recommendations of the Commissioner.
		The southern portion of the North-South Freeway proposed in MATS was often referred to as the Noarlunga Freeway.

	Australian Towns, Cities & Highways: South Eastern Freeway
		The South Eastern Freeway, South Australia's first ever freeway was built in the mid 1970's and links Adelaide with rapidly growing regional centre of Murray Bridge.
		The freeway replaced a notoriously slow section of the old Princes Highway through the Adelaide Hills and promoted growth into areas outside the Adelaide metro area due to the alleviated access issues.
		The freeway originally stopped at Whites Hill (5km west of Murray Bridge) although the completion of the Murray Bridge bypass and the construction of the Swanport Bridge to link back to the Princes Highway marked the end of the project.

	Whitehurst Freeway (US 29)
		At the eastern terminus, a modified cloverleaf interchange was built to connect the freeway to the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway and to 27th Street.
		At the freeway's eastern end, the unused remnant section of the Potomac River Freeway and ramps connecting to the unbuilt Inner Loop (I-66) were to be torn down.
		To increase the freeway's usefulness, new ramps should be built to connect the eastbound lanes of the freeway to the northbound and southbound Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, as shown in "Alternative 4" of DDOT's 2005 Whitehurst Freeway study.

		The new freeway signs that showcase the name of Interstate H-1 (which were erected in 2002 or later) now are the only on-freeway Interstate shields with either the state name and/or hyphenated route numbers.
		The others that had been out there on the freeways are now gone, although another sign style with state name and hyphen remains common on surface streets to direct traffic onto the freeways (at least for H-1 and H-2).

		Additionally, a new freeway routing is officially determined as a state trunkline, although not yet constructed, from the north Kalamazoo city limit (at the end of Westnedge-Park) northwesterly to the new US-131 freeway near Mile 41.
		Since the freeway is not yet complete through the city, the US-131 mainline designation remains on the "Beltline System" of 28th St easterly from the freeway to East Beltline Ave, then northerly via East Beltline to Plainfield Ave northeast of the city.
		The determination for the freeway continues northerly from downtown to I-196 (present-day I-96) on the north side of town, generally coinciding with the completion of this portion of the freeway.

		As a way of contextualising this discussion, what follows is a brief look at two, contemporary Australian freeway design projects that (implicitly) accommodate this reconfigured understanding of freeway landscapes in their design.
		Rather than subsume freeway landscape segments within a greater sense of flow, the western link section of City Link is a project that makes a statement of these various segments by exploiting the design potential of them.
		Lining the extended section of freeway are a series of prefabricated concrete sound barriers - some concave, some convex - bearing a variety of fractal patterns in bas-relief that simulate freeway cuttings and other geological formations.

	NOISE FENCING ON THE EASTERN FREEWAY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		New noise barriers would be installed in parts of the Eastern Freeway where residents were experiencing high traffic noise, Minister for Roads and Ports, Mr Geoff Craige, announced today.
		The Minister said that some of the busiest sections of the Eastern freeway did not have adequate noise protection and that residents had been lobbying for State Government action.
		He said that barriers would be installed along the Eastern Freeway from east of the Yarra River at Kew to Bulleen Road, North Balwyn.

	PTUA: Media Release - Eastern Freeway commuters to suffer: Scoresby will increase road congestion
		The billion-dollar Scoresby Freeway in Melbourne's outer east will worsen congestion on the Eastern Freeway, the Public Transport Users Assocation has claimed.
		PTUA Secretary Vaughan Williams said that the Scoresby Freeway would channel city-bound traffic from Knox and Waverley away from City Link and onto the Eastern Freeway, worsening congestion for commuters from Nunawading and Ringwood and flooding the inner city with more cars.
		Mr Williams said that commuters along the whole Eastern and Scoresby corridors could be provided with first rate public transport for a fraction of the cost of the two freeway extensions.

		The remaining section of the old freeway were decommissioned and turned into a city street.
		It is rather unusual to drive it as it appears as a vacant freeway.
		The proposed freeway would connect with Interstate 10 just south of Ahwatukee Foothills, run west along the southern border of South Mountain and then swing north to connect with Interstate 10 in west Phoenix.

	PTUA: Media Release - Cancel Freeway Now
		Last week's disclosure of a cost blowout in the Eastern Freeway Extension and the Scoresby Freeway (now called the 'Mitcham to Frankston Freeway') has caused the Public Transport Users Association to call for the immediate cancellation of the two freeways.
		The Ringwood and Scoresby freeways were first proposed in the 1969 transport plan for Melbourne, which would have seen a grid of freeways across the entire metropolitan area.
		The EES study team was instructed not to investigate alternatives to the freeway as it was government policy to build the freeway whether or not it was environmentally, economically or socially desirable.

		Mr Bracks said the extension of the freeway, from Springvale Road to Ringwood, would be constructed so as to preserve local bushland and the Mullum Mullum Creek and without the need to demolish houses outside the existing freeway reserve.
		Government’s new tunnel solution for extending the Eastern Freeway did not require the compulsory acquisition of any homes, the tunnel would be built under private properties – whose owners would be appropriately compensated.
		The Eastern Freeway Extension is expected to be completed by mid-2005.

		In addition, while the chosen option appears to avoid the wholesale destruction of the plant communities in the politically sensitive area of the Mullum Gorge through Yarran Dheran, the issues of air pollution from vehicle exhausts, traffic noise pollution, and the visual pollution from noise attenuation measures (or "sound walls") and lighting are unresolved.
		The freeway tunnel entrance/exit and other construction work near to the historic Schwerkolt Cottage will have a highly adverse impact on that currently tranquil environment enjoyed by many visitors to the area as well as local residents.

		A transaction was negotiated for 600,000 acres of land from eight Wurundjeri chiefs; this was later annulled by the New South Wales government (then governing all of eastern mainland Australia), who compensated the settlers.
		Perhaps better known to a contemporary audience is the soap opera Neighbours, set in the fictional eastern suburb of Erinsborough, which presents a microcosm of suburban Australian life.
		Major highways feeding into the city include the Eastern Freeway, Monash Freeway and West Gate Freeway (which spans the spectacular Westgate Bridge), whilst other significant road systems include CityLink and the Western Ring Road, Calder Freeway, Tullamarine Freeway (main airport link) and the Hume Freeway which links Melbourne to Sydney.
