West Gate Freeway

It is always really exciting to get new photos of our work.

Our involvement in projects often spans several years – a case in point is the West Gate Freeway which we started working on back in May 2007, 3 years ago now.  Our involvement was to design the lighting from the mouth of the Burnley Tunnel through to the start of the West Gate Bridge (about 8km in total).  Aside from the road lighting itself, we designed the lighting to the urban design features by Denton Corker Marshall; namely the portals and wedges that you may have seen or even driven through.

Last week we sent Peter Bennetts to site with his camera and, as usual, he has created some magical images.  I must admit I was a little concerned when he told me he was balanced on top of a step ladder on the corner of the Montague Street intersection to get one of the shots.  That’s commitment for you.
