1 A new traffic light free connection for the Ring Road, Greensborough Bypass, Greensborough Road and North East Link.

2 Greensborough Road rebuilt on both sides of North East Link for local, toll-free trips.

3 Through traffic on North East Link and Greensborough Road under Grimshaw Street to keep traffic flowing and cut congestion in all directions.

4 New walking and cycling links, bridges and underpasses to connect from the Western Ring Road Trail to the Eastern Freeway and Yarra River trails.

5 An alternate design for local connections around Watsonia Station and shops has been developed based on community feedback.

6 North East Link lowered deep under green bridges and local roads to keep communities connected.

7 Ramps in and out of the North East Link tunnels connecting to Greensborough Road and Lower Plenty Road.

8 Victoria’s longest road tunnels to protect the environment and communities.

9 Ramps in and out of the North East Link tunnels connecting to Manningham Road and Bulleen Road.

10 Bulleen Road kept open and connected to the Eastern Freeway for local use with safer, easier crossings to schools, sports fields, parklands and community clubs.

11 Tunnel portals next to Bulleen Road with seamless, traffic light free connections to and from the Eastern Freeway.

12 Major upgrades to commuter bike routes along the Eastern Freeway including new crossings under Burke Road, Belford Road and over the Yarra River.

13 A major upgrade of the Eastern Freeway to make it work smarter and faster. New lanes where they are needed most, separated express and destination lanes, and new traffic management technology will all work together to increase capacity, bust congestion and slash travel times.

14 A consistent noise standard of 63 decibels along the length of the project including the Eastern Freeway upgrades to give residents better protection from noise.

1 New connection under Doncaster Road to cut traffic light delays in and out of the Park and Ride

2 Entry/exit for Thompsons Road services

3 Proposed Park and Ride at Bulleen

4 Entry/exit for Chandler Highway services

It’s been talked about for decades, it’s happening now. Fixing the missing link in our city’s ring road will change the way people and goods move about Melbourne.

• A route around our city instead of through it

• 15,000 trucks off local roads every day

• Through traffic and congestion off local streets

• Up to 30 minute faster trips between the Ring Road and the Eastern Freeway

• A major overhaul of the Eastern Freeway for up to 40% faster trips that will stay toll free

• A dedicated busway along the Eastern Freeway for faster and easier trips to and from the city

• 25 km of new and upgraded walking and cycling paths

• 10,000 Victorian jobs

Planning approvalsPlanning approvals for North East Link will be informed by an Environment Effects Statement (EES) – Victoria’s most robust and transparent impact assessment process. The EES is on exhibition for public comment from 10 April – 7 June 2019. Making a submission gives you the opportunity to have your views considered in planning approvals decisions for North East Link.

This map and artist impressions are based on the reference project assessed in the EES. The reference project is not the final design for North East Link. It is one feasible way the project could be designed, constructed and operated. Planning approvals, design work for the project and consultation with communities and stakeholders is still ongoing and components of the project design could change.

Alternate design for North East Link with a green bridge connecting Elder Street to both sides of Greensborough Road and upgraded car parking at Watsonia Station. The alternate design was developed while the EES was being prepared so it doesn’t appear in the document. It still meets all the proposed environmental performance requirements for the project in the EES and, subject to project approval, can be given to the builders we invite to further refine the design.
