Bringing our road, bus and bike network together

Fixing the missing link in Melbourne’s freeway network has been talked about for decades.

But North East Link will deliver much more, including the big road, bus and walking and cycling upgrades needed to keep Melbourne’s north-east moving in the decades to come.

Victoria’s longest road tunnels will fix the missing link in our city’s freeway network, take 15,000 trucks off local roads a day and reduce travel times by up to 35 minutes.

We’ll also complete the Ring Road in Greensborough, overhaul the Eastern Freeway, build Melbourne’s first dedicated busway and the North East Trail – more than 34km of walking and cycling paths.
