We’re continuing to remove dangerous and congested level crossings, while upgrade works are underway across the southeast as part of Big Build Roads. Tunnelling is now underway on North East Link and we’re getting ready to upgrade the Eastern Freeway and M80 Ring Road. 

We’re also preparing for tunnelling and underground station excavation on Suburban Rail Loop East, while Yarra Trams track renewal will take place on various routes across the tram network. 

These works will cause delays on key roads and surrounding areas. Be sure to plan ahead, allow extra time or take an alternative route if possible.
