We’re connecting the M80 Ring Road to the North East Link tunnels and upgraded Eastern Freeway – taking cars and trucks off local roads and skipping 18 traffic lights on a trip to the airport.
The completed M80 Ring Road will take 19,000 cars and trucks a day off Greensborough Road with through traffic passing under Grimshaw Street, Elder Street and Watsonia Road – giving local roads back to local people.
- New free-flowing interchanges at the M80 Ring Road and Grimshaw Street will ease congestion and slash travel times, with dedicated lanes for local trips and express lanes to the North East Link tunnels.
- More than 10km of new and upgraded walking and cycling paths, including a new accessible overpass at Macorna Street and a bright and wide underpass at Yando Street, will make it safer and easier to move about local suburbs.
- New landscaped bridges at Elder Street and Watsonia Road will improve connections for locals, making it safer and easier to walk, ride and drive to Watsonia Station and local shops.
The project is planned to open at the same time as the North East Link tunnels from Watsonia to Bulleen and the Eastern Freeway Upgrades from Hoddle Street to Springvale Road.
