The North East Link is a freeway planned to run through Melbourne's north eastern suburbs. It was first proposed in the 1969 Melbourne Transportation Plan (as part of the F7 and/or F18 corridors), and is designed to provide a road connection between the Metropolitan Ring Road in Greensborough and the Eastern Freeway / EastLink junction in Ringwood. It was included in the Brumby government's 2008 Victorian Transport Plan, with an estimated cost of over A$6 billion. The North East Link freeway would be designated as Route Number M80 (as per the existing Metropolitan Ring Road). ==Route== The North East Link – often marketed as the ‘missing link’ in Melbourne’s ring road network – will provide an additional major Yarra River crossing for Melbourne. Three proposed routes for the North East Link were identified by consultation report prepared by GHD Consulting for the Department of Premier and Cabinet. Route 1: An eastern option from the Metropolitan Ring Rd to EastLink via Kangaroo Ground and Chirnside Park. Route 2: A central option from the Metropolitan Ring Rd to EastLink via Eltham and Warrandyte. Route 3: A western option from the Metropolitan Ring Rd to Eastern Freeway at Bulleen via Watsonia. Controversially Route 3 was selected as the preferred route. The link proposes a combination of above-ground roadway and tunnel between Lower Plenty Road and the Eastern Freeway at Bulleen Road which will traverse the Banyule Flats and Yarra River.〔http://www.transport.vic.gov.au/DOI/DOIElect.nsf/$UNIDS+for+Web+Display/2F81FF76ABB4A712CA25752200239E87/$FILE/GHD_EWLNA_and_Northern_Link.pdf〕 Two tunnel proposals have been provided citing selection based on budgetary input. A shorter tunnel from Lower Plenty Rd to Bulleen Rd exiting near the Heide museum and a longer tunnel from Lower Plenty Rd through to the Eastern Freeway. However the final details of the route are yet to be completed and further detailed engineering investigations and community consultation will be undertaken before finalising a route alignment and design for the road connection. This project was submitted to the federal Government of Australia for funding consideration. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North East Link」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
