The full East West Link dramatically improves the connectivity between Melbourne's established east and rapidly growing west, joining the Eastern Freeway at Hoddle Street with the Western Ring Road in Sunshine West.
The East West Link project will be delivered as an availability PPP with the state initially retaining tolling and traffic risk.
Construction of the project is expected to commence in late 2014 with expected completion in 2019-20.
