<P> In mid 2015 to early 2016, the state and federal governments had announced A $300 million in funding to upgrade the remaining sections along the ring road, previously allocated to the now defunct East West Link road project . Construction on the Sunshine Avenue to Calder Freeway section commenced on 2 October 2016 and is expected to be completed in late 2018 . The upgrade of the Princes Freeway to Western Highway section is expected to begin construction in early 2018 and be completed in late 2020 . The upgrades of Plenty Road to Greensborough Highway and Sydney Road to Edgar Road sections are expected to begin construction in 2019 and be complete in early--late 2021 . The full M80 Ring Road upgrade is anticipated to be complete by late 2021 . </P> <P> VicRoads had originally produced an official "M80 Upgrade Website" with links to a newly created site showing video simulations, maps and' what's new' on the freeway, for already or nearly completed sections . This website is no longer available for access online . </P> <P> Currently, the easternmost point of the Northern Ring Road terminates at Greensborough at the Greensborough Bypass . </P> <P> For the road to be built, it would take the road through areas that are environmentally and politically sensitive, such as Viewbank, Banyule Flats, Eltham, Templestowe or Warrandyte . The link to the east may well have to be provided by other means, such as the proposed tunnel to connect the Eastern Freeway with Melbourne's west . </P>

Is there a toll on the western ring road
