North-East Link

A year ago, I took some photos of the progress of Melbourne’s North-East Link freeway project. I thought I’d return for an update.

The North-East Link Project is a major infrastructure initiative aimed at improving road connectivity in Melbourne’s northern and eastern suburbs. The project involves the construction of a new freeway, which will connect the M80 Ring Road to the Eastern Freeway, helping to reduce traffic congestion, improve travel times, and enhance transport links across the region. I took these photos last year, but a lot has happened since then.

There’s a hill with a mobile phone tower on the top that sits at the intersection between the Metropolitan Ring Road and Greensborough Bypass that offers splendid views of the works. It’s well worth a treck to the top to take a look. I also took some photos from the Macorna Street and Nell Street pedestrian bridges, both of which will soon be demolished.

This is what I saw:

The incomplete concrete bridge being constructed where the Greensborough Bypass and Metro Ring Road meet.

An impressive view along the Greensborough Bypass, taken from a nearby hill.

The small section of completed overpass looks odd all on its own.

Cars heading towards Mill Park on the Metro Ring Road, which is full of barricades.

Looking along the Metro Ring Road towards Greensborough, where the North-East Link will start.

Construction equipment on the side of the Metropolitan Ring Road.

Cars making their way along the Metropolitan Ring Road.

Cars on Greensborough Highway, which snakes in-between the works.
