Greensborough Highway , and is an important route for north-east Melbourne.

Route

Greensborough Highway runs from .

Greensborough Freeway

The route was originally designated in the 1969 Melbourne Transportation Plan as the F18 Freeway, extending further than Diamond Creek Road to finish at Ryans Road, Diamond Creek, and at the southern end extending past Lower Plenty Rd to link up with the Eastern Freeway between Bullen Road and Burke Road, via the Banyule Flats Reserve. However, no announcement has been made to link the Metropolitan Ring Road to the Eastern Freeway as yet.

In "Transurban's Response to the Eddington Report", July 2008 [http://210.15.220.118/ewlna_submissions/EastWestResponse_150708_Transurban.pdf] , a route worth considering is a connection from the Eastern Freeway at Bulleen Road to the Greensborough Highway, either as a tunnel or a protected elevated roadway and/or an orbital connection to EastLink via the proposed Healesville Freeway corridor.
