Melbourne, Australia

The CityLink contract was awarded in 1995 by the Victorian government to a consortium of Australia's Transfield Services and Japan's Obayashi Corporation.[2] Transurban was formed to operate the CityLink contract.

The specifications called for a tolled freeway to augment two existing freeways and the construction of two new toll roads — labelled the Western and Southern Links — directly linking a number of existing freeways to provide a continuous, high-capacity road route to, and around, the central business district, using electronic toll collection technology, called e-TAG.[3] The total value of the project was estimated in 1996 at about $1.8 billion, and the 34-year concession to operate the road expires in 2034.[4]

The road was built between 1996 and 2000. The first of the sections opened to traffic in August 1999, with tolling commencing on 3 January 2000 before final completion occurred on 28 December 2000 with tolling commencing the same year.[5]
