The proposed North East Link project will connect the Metropolitan ring road (M80) and Eastern Freeway (M3) completing a ring road around Melbourne which includes the Monash Freeway (M1).
As part of the project, Victorian Government will establish a separate tolling company (Toll Co) to collect and own the toll revenue generated through North East Link.
The procurement will be undertaken as a service contract.
The consortium delivering the Primary Package is responsible for the design, construct and maintain the civil infrastructure required to support the toll collection system and for ensuring this infrastructure is available to the tolling systems contractor for installation and commissioning.
