North East Link design schematic

North East Link would provide an express connection between the M80 Ring Road and the Eastern Freeway, skipping 18 sets of lights. Interchanges would be located at the M80 Ring Road, Grimshaw Street, Lower Plenty Road, Manningham Road and the Eastern Freeway.

This is an early design concept for North East Link. It is not a final design and is subject to change based on further engineering and planning studies, feedback from communities and stakeholders and the procurement process.!

Eastern Freeway design schematic

The Eastern Freeway would be upgraded to modern-day freeway standards. Express lanes would reduce merging and weaving that causes congestion, ramp metering (traffic light signals on entry ramps) would better manage traffic flow onto the freeway for safer and faster trips and new lanes would increase capacity to cater for demand now and into the future. A new, dedicated busway would provide a streamlined route for buses between Doncaster and the city away from cars and trucks.

Other options being considered include

• A more direct connection between Elder Street, Greensborough Highway

and the station carpark

• Connections between Greensborough Road and Watsonia Road

• Crossings for pedestrians and bike riders to the station and shops

• Better links for local buses

• Opportunities for open space

This image shows one option for connections between Greensborough Road,

Elder Street, and Watsonia station and

shops, but other options are still being

considered
