North East Link is the biggest ever investment in Melbourne's north-east – changing the way people move around Melbourne.

We'll also complete the Ring Road in Greensborough, overhaul the Eastern Freeway, build Melbourne's first dedicated busway and the North East Trail – more than 34km of walking and cycling paths.
