Eastern Freeway Upgrade - Hoddle to Burke Section

planned

The project involves upgrading nearly 6km of the Eastern Freeway from Hoddle Street in Collingwood to Burke Road in Balwyn North, Melbourne, Australia. It includes widening the freeway, constructing Melbourne's first dedicated busway between Doncaster Park and Ride and Hoddle Street, new road and pedestrian bridges, shared use paths for cyclists and pedestrians, and enhanced transport systems. Key upgrades include an additional lane in each direction from Chandler Highway to Burke Road, new roadside barriers, and bus overpasses at the Chandler Highway interchange and Burke Road exit ramp bridge. The project aims to reduce congestion and support Melbourne's freight and public transport systems, with a focus on sustainability and social inclusion.
