Vic Labor won't do link's second stage

VICTORIAN Labor says it will build only part of the East West Link if elected in November.

Shadow Treasurer Tim Pallas said the western section of the 18km cross-city road project was not part of the transport proposal Labor would take to the state election.

Labor has committed to honouring government contracts for the road link, but Mr Pallas said this didn't include the western section.

"Our view is that any contracts that are not signed, processes will not necessarily proceed," Mr Pallas said on Friday.

The government hopes to sign contracts for the $6 billion-$8 billion eastern part of the project before Victorians go to the polls. Work is expected to start at the end of the year.

The eastern section will connect the Eastern Freeway to CityLink and includes a tunnel below Royal Park.

But the western section, funded to the tune of $8 billion-$10 billion in Tuesday's state budget, will not be ready to proceed until the end of 2015.

"It won't be part of any proposal we take to the people of Victoria at the next election," Mr Pallas said of the western section.

"We have a clear agenda in respect of transport."

Labor has released plans to remove 50 level crossings in metropolitan Melbourne and build an alternative to the West Gate Bridge and West Gate Distributor.
