The Company asserted that the work on the Tulla Sydney section, which is to be completed by the end of year 2012, is on progress. This project had commenced in December in the previous year, and will offer new lanes on track.

A project of 9.7km was planned to be accomplished by the Tulla Sydney Alliance, which includes Thiess, VicRoads and design partners Parsons Brinkerhoff and Hyder Consulting. This project incorporates various works like, expanding to three lanes in every direction and a fourth and fifth lane amid some interchanges.
