Works are progressing across all our sites, with new bridges and major interchanges continuing to take shape along the freeway.
In December, we opened new walking and cycling bridges at Heyington Avenue, Doncaster and Estelle Street, Balwyn North, delivering safer, easier crossings over the Eastern Freeway.
We also reached a major milestone, successfully switching traffic onto the city side of the new Doncaster Road bridge in December. The old bridge was demolished in early January, with construction on the Ringwood side of the new bridge to begin in 2026.
At Bulleen Road interchange, the flyover structures providing direct connections in and out of the North East Link tunnels are taking shape, with more than 30 of 188 beams now in place.
