Section 2 from the Midland Highway to the Hamilton Highway at Fyansford, (along with Section 1), was officially opened on Sunday, 14 December 2008.[1] Two days of torrential rain beforehand threatened to disrupt the opening,[2] however it went ahead as planned after a cessation of the storm.[3] The opening carried was out by Victorian Premier John Brumby,[4] who announced the naming of the bridge as the Lewis Bandt Bridge, in honour of the Ford Australia engineer Lewis Bandt[5] who is credited as the inventor of the coupé utility, in Geelong.[6]
