The Southern Way consortium will finance, design, build, maintain and operate the freeway.  Peninsula Link will be delivered toll-free as an Availability Public Private Partnership (PPP). Under this model, Southern Way will finance, build, design, operate and maintain the freeway for 25 years. Visit Partnerships Victoria for more information on Availability Public Private Partnership.

Peninsula Link will be completed and open to motorists in early 2013.
