Works on the North East Link ventilation tunnel are set to wrap up in the coming weeks!

The almost 300m-long tunnel was excavated using a single road header, with works first starting back in late 2023.

From here, excavation of the passages that will link the vent tunnel to the road tunnel will start.

The ventilation tunnel runs alongside the road tunnel and will work to maintain safe air quality for road users and the local community.

About the Project

Webuild, as part of the Spark Joint Venture is delivering the North East Link tunnels for the Victorian government. The project will enable a more sustainable future by taking 15,000 trucks off local roads every day and reducing travel times by up to 35 minutes for commuters. Once complete, it will be the longest road tunnel in Victoria.
