Thank you again, Senator, for the question. Currently it will take a maximum of 63 minutes between the Eastern Freeway and CityLink. East West Link stage 1 will cut this to just seven minutes, bypassing 23 sets of traffic lights. Single stage 1 will alleviate critical congestion at the end of the Eastern Freeway and address chronic congestion around Flemington Road, the CityLink off-ramp, Mt Alexander road, Racecourse Road and Elliott Avenue.
