The North East Link is an under construction 10–kilometre tolled highway scheme in Melbourne, Australia. It will connect the Metropolitan Ring Road at Greensborough with the Eastern Freeway at Bulleen, which will be upgraded from Hoddle Street to Springvale Road at Nunawading.[1]
Other components of the project include the construction of a new dedicated busway along the Eastern Freeway to serve the Doncaster area, and park and ride car parking facilities.[2][3] The Eastern Freeway will be widened from nine lanes to 20 in some parts.[4][5]
In December 2016, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced that a re-elected Labor government would build the North East Link at a cost of $10 billion.[6] Early works began in 2020 and tunnelling is planned to commence in mid 2024, with an expected completion in late 2028.[7][8]
In 2021, the length of the tunnelled portion was increased by 1.9 km to 6.5 km, and the cost of the main construction contract, to be delivered through a public-private partnership, rose to $11.1 billion.[9] The overall long-term budget for the project was set at $16.5 billion in 2017,[10] but this increased to $26.1 billion as of 2023.[11]
