  • Reduce travel time from 130 minutes to about 105 minutes saving 25 minutes
  • Allow a higher posted speed limit of up to 110km p/h
  • Improve travel reliability through better flood immunity fewer incidents and more readily available alternative routes
  • Reduce crash rates by an expected 27 per cent due to divided lanes
