M80 Ring Road Upgrade & Tulla Sydney Alliance
M80 Ring Road Upgrade - Calder Freeway to Sydney Road section

The Victorian and Australian Government recently awarded the first contract of works for the $2.25 billion M80 Ring Road Upgrade to improve the Western and Metropolitan Ring Roads. The project will significantly improve safety, ease congestion, reduce travel times and improve reliability for all road users.

The M80 Ring Road Upgrade project extends 38km from the Princes Freeway at Laverton North to the Greensborough Highway at Greensborough and will be delivered in stages to minimise the impact on road users.

The first section to be upgraded is a 9.7 km which extends from near the Calder Freeway up to Sydney Road and will be delivered through a partnership between VicRoads, Thiess, Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB) and Hyder referred to as the Tulla Sydney Alliance.

For further information please download the letter to residents below or visit www.vicroads.gov.au/m80upgrade

Over the next two years the Tulla Sydney Alliance is committed to keeping you informed and to working closely with you to ensure any concerns you may have are taken into consideration. We also welcome your feedback and would encourage you to contact us by calling 1300 297 090.
