We’re connecting the North East Link tunnels to the Eastern Freeway and building the Yarra Link green bridge. To keep traffic moving while we work, we’re moving traffic onto the newly completed final alignment of Bulleen Road.

To create the space needed to build the Yarra Link green bridge, Bulleen Road was realigned in December
2023, then split in May 2025.

We’ve been working around the clock to build the permanent Bulleen Road lanes that run along the western side of the Yarra Link green bridge.

Once works are complete in July, road users will be driving on the new permanent Bulleen Road lanes, the first completed section of North East Link’s Eastern Freeway interchange.

As works progress, we’ll close sections of Bulleen Road between Manningham Road and the Eastern Freeway in July, allowing crews to safely realign Bulleen Road.

We’re working hard to minimise disruption and will continue to keep the community informed as works progress. We encourage you to stay up to date with traffic conditions via the Big Build website.
