 The company Transurban was awarded the contract to construct two new freeways—labelled the Western and Southern Links—directly linking a number of existing freeways to provide a continuous, high-capacity road route to, and around, the central business district.

CityLink is comprised of:

  • Western Link
extended Tullamarine Freeway
Bolte Bridge
Sound Tube
  • Southern Link
    • Domain tunnel
    • Burnley tunnel
    • Batman Avenue
