VECCI welcomes CityLink upgrade announcement

VECCI Chief Executive Mark Stone has welcomed the announced upgrade by Transurban of CityLink from the Bolte Bridge to Melrose Drive.

“The 700 jobs, expected 30 per cent increase in capacity and anticipated cut to the travel time between the Westgate Freeway and Melbourne Airport created by this project will provide undoubted benefits for Melbourne and Victoria,” Mr Stone said.

“The final piece of the puzzle is to continue the widening of the Tullamarine Freeway all the way to the Airport and VECCI urges the State Government to ensure this happens too. 

“The East West Link, widened CityLink and Tullamarine Freeway and the Airport Rail Link will enhance Melbourne as a destination and greatly improve the movement of people and goods across our city and State.”

The Victorian Employers' Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VECCI) is the peak body for employers in Victoria, informing and servicing more than 15,000 members, customers and clients around the state.
