MELBOURNE:
CityLink is a toll road expressway that links Melbourne's three major freeways: the West Gate, the Monash and the Tullamarine. The West Gate Freeway is the western gateway to regions including the Great Ocean Road; the Monash Freeway is the south-eastern gateway to Phillip Island, Gippsland and Lakes and Wilderness; and the Tullamarine Freeway is the northern gateway to the airport and the Goldfields.
People using CityLink don't need to stop to pay for their travel as this is all done electronically via overhead gantries that record your licence plate number and travel details. If you're visiting Melbourne and planning on using CityLink, all you need to do is purchase a CityLink Pass. Make sure you do this before you travel or within 3 days of travelling as fines apply. CityLink has three passes that are available for infrequent users and those visiting Melbourne:
A 24 Hour Pass, costing $13.50, provides unlimited travel on CityLink for 24 hours from the time you first drive on CityLink.
A Weekend Pass, costing $13.50, allows you to travel from noon on Friday until midnight on Sunday.
The Tulla Pass, costing $4.80, is available for travel between Bulla Road and Flemington Roads on the Tullamarine Freeway.
And, if you find yourself on CityLink and haven't got a pass, you can purchase a 24 Hour Pass or Tulla Pass until midnight three days after you travelled on CityLink. So, if you travel on CityLink after midday Friday, you have until midnight Tuesday to purchase a pass.
Purchasing a CityLink Pass is simple - you can visit CityLink's website www.citylink.com.au call Customer Service on 13 26 29, visit an Australia Post office or use a Touch machine at Melbourne Airport and major Shell petrol station outlet in Victoria.
