The Tullamarine freeway is being upgraded - free - by the toll operators.
One thing affected by the work was the two footbridges from Matthews Ave
across the tramway and freeway which were removed about a year ago.
The new one (1) is finally open and provides a good vantage point for
tram pics.
First pic looks north from Harker St (near the site of the old Vaughan
Ave tramline into the aerodrome).

The line terminates just near the Airport West shopping centre - roughly
where the next overpass is visible at top right.
Second pic looks south from ground level.

The change from ballasted track to mass concrete in the background marks
where the old curve into the aerodrome was.

Mal Rowe - who will show his gratitude to the toll operators by paying
tolss over this piece of freeway originally built with taxpayer dollars
for the rest of his life.
