About North East Link 

The Spark Consortium has been selected for the Central Package of the North East Link Project - Victoria's biggest road project.
 
The Spark Consortium’s Design and Construction Contractor - which comprises Webuild, CPB Contractors, GS Engineering and Construction and China Construction Oceania - will deliver the twin three-lane tunnels and key interchanges for the project.
