Humes’ eco-friendly culverts for North-East Link project

The Echuca facility produces up to 14 culverts daily, using concrete that incorporates alternative materials to reduce environmental impact.

Major Road Projects Victoria chief executive Duncan Elliott said regional Victoria was playing a key role in the construction of the state's biggest ever road project by supplying key concrete components needed to build the North-East Link.

The culverts will be transported to Melbourne later this year, while the manufacturing process provides employment for 60 local workers, boosting the regional economy.

The project, jointly funded by the Australian and Victorian governments, is scheduled for completion in 2028.
