Explore what we’ve been working on and help shape Victoria’s largest ever road project.
Have your say on our major road and rail projects
Victoria is currently in a transport construction boom, with over 100 major projects being delivered that will transform the way we travel.
We’re seeking your feedback for projects across our state, that includes building tunnels, new freeways, removing level crossings and upgrading our road and rail networks. Our project teams have a number of consultations open for Victorians to give feedback on current and future rail and road projects.

The removal of 75 most dangerous level crossings across metropolitan Melbourne by 2025, in addition to other rail network upgrades such as new train stations, track duplication and train stabling yards.
North East Link Project
The biggest road transport project in Victoria’s history, that will finally connect Melbourne’s freeway network between an upgraded Eastern Freeway and the M80 Ring Road.

Major Road Projects Victoria
The team oversees the delivery of major road projects around metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria. Projects include new roads, road widenings, new bridges and major freeway upgrades.
The Metro Tunnel
Melbourne’s next underground train line will carry the busy Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury lines and free up space in the City Loop meaning more trains can run more often across Melbourne
Regional Rail Revival
The Regional Rail Revival program is upgrading every regional passenger train line in Victoria.
Melbourne Airport Rail
Melbourne Airport Rail is a once-in-a-generation transformation of Victoria’s transport network, connecting Melbourne Airport with a rail service for the first time.
Suburban Rail Loop
Suburban Rail Loop will transform Victoria’s public transport system, connecting every major train line from the Frankston Line to the Werribee line, and improving access to housing, jobs, schools, universities and hospitals in Melbourne’s middle suburbs.
