There will be some redesign of the Eastern Freeway to allow for connections to the local area and the tunnel. A new ramp would take northbound Hoddle Street traffi c onto the Eastern Freeway and the old ‘loop’ would be removed to make space for the new tunnel lanes. This would also include a bus line to improve Doncaster services. The pedestrian bridge would be relocated because the current bridge is too low to accommodate the new ramp.

During construction, land would be required to enable the construction of the tunnel portal. A temporary side track will be required to ensure Alexandra Parade traffi c can fl ow freely during construction.

Improvements will be made to the north-south from routes of Lygon Street, Nicholson Street, Brunswick Road and Smith Street to improve travel times and safety.

Elliott Avenue provides an important access point to and from the tunnels. The entry and exit points remain below ground level until they meet with the existing road surface, minimising the footprint on Royal Park.

Access to the State Netball and Hockey Centre and Urban Camp would be maintained at all times. There would be no loss of parking spaces and construction vehicles would not be permitted to use these parking areas.

A construction area in Royal Park near the Upfi eld railway line allows for storage of materials and equipment and construction personnel parking. Tunnel boring machines would probably start boring the tunnel from here.

Ross Straw Field would be occupied for construction. The sporting clubs and other park users have been invited to be directly involved in discussions about the best ways to manage the short term impacts and long term planning.

The Upfi eld railway line would be maintained where the tunnel passes beneath it. The tram line crossing Elliott Avenue would be realigned to pass over the tunnel entrance. Any disruption to these important public transport routes would be kept to a minimum.

Traffi c travelling north from the East West Link would follow a new ramp on the west side of CityLink, near the Moonee Ponds Creek.
