If you’ve been out west lately, you would have noticed all the infrastructure enhancements that are planned or currently underway. These improvements include:

• A $2.1 billion upgrade of the Sunbury Line between Sunbury and Footscray
• Investment in the highly-anticipated Melbourne Airport Rail
• The new Metro Tunnel which will run between Kensington and South Yarra, easing congestion on the current City Loop
• Construction of the West Gate Tunnel to provide an alternative to the West Gate Bridge
• The Suburban Rail Loop providing a connection between the west, north and south-eastern suburbs
• The Geelong Fast Rail providing a faster connection between Geelong and Melbourne CBD
Removal of level crossings at 7 locations with another 6 more to go
• Upgrades to 8 main western roads from Footscray to Werribee.
