en.Wedoany.com Reported - Australian toll road operator ConnectEast has recently selected Kapsch TrafficCom to undertake a major upgrade of the multi-lane free-flow (MLFF) roadside tolling system on Melbourne's EastLink tollway. The project is a multi-year investment, scheduled for completion by mid-2028.

Spanning 39 kilometers, EastLink connects the Eastern, Monash, Frankston, and Peninsula Link freeways, serving as a vital transport connection corridor for Melbourne. Daniel Vazquez, Executive Vice President of Kapsch TrafficCom Asia-Pacific, stated: "By upgrading the existing tolling system with our latest technology, we are helping ConnectEast ensure that EastLink continues to deliver high accuracy, reliability, and performance for many years to come. We are proud of this partnership, which has continued since EastLink opened in 2008."

ConnectEast Managing Director Charles Griplas said: "Partnering with Kapsch TrafficCom allows us to modernize the roadside tolling system while maintaining continuity for our operations team and customers. This upgrade will ensure EastLink continues to operate with high standards of safety, efficiency, and customer experience."

Under the contract, Kapsch TrafficCom will be responsible for the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of the upgraded tolling system. The existing EastLink roadside tolling infrastructure, built during the construction period from 2005 to 2008, relies on aging roadside equipment, featuring a dual-gantry layout at each tolling point with physical controllers installed in nearby technical equipment rooms.
