Roads, ports and freight
The efficient movement of freight on Victoria’s road, rail and port systems is essential for the State’s continued economic growth. As regional centres and Melbourne’s fringe areas continue to grow Victoria’s roads need to manage a greater capacity.
The Department of Transport and VicRoads are working together to provide better cross-town and regional road connections and planning for freight growth.
