The North-East link, called the “biggest ever investment in Melbourne’s north-east”, is currently one of the largest ongoing projects in the city. Upgrading 15km and constructing 11km of freeway, there are ten ongoing works in Balwyn North, Bulleen, and Watsonia related to the project, though many more are sure to come with anestimated completion date of 2027. With so much continuing and future construction occurring so close to busy roads, the safety and protection of workers and the development of this critical infrastructure from errant vehicles is of the utmost importance; Australian Bollards’energy absorbing bollards (EABs)are the solution for people and asset protection.
As the “How many days since the Montague Street Bridge has been hit?” website demonstrates, drivers often underestimate the height of their vehicles to disastrous consequences. Indeed, while the infamous Montague Street Bridge and the frequency with which trucks get stuck under it has become a local inside joke in Melbourne, the consequences it has are significant.
Australian Bollards has proudly and frequently partnered with Yarra Trams to supply and install our Energy Absorbing Bollards (EABs) at multiple tram stops throughout Melbourne. Engineered to save lives, these bollards work to efficiently and effectively stop collisions between cars and pedestrians, cyclists, and trams, protecting peopleandcritical infrastructure.
