Victoria's Labor government has committed to building the $10 billion North East Link freeway if it wins the next state election in 2018.

The so-called "missing link" would complete the Metropolitan Ring Road by connecting the ring road to either the Eastern Freeway or EastLink.

Some $35 million will be spent on planning, route selection and environmental impact studies in 2017.

Tendering will then occur in 2018, but the Andrews government won't sign any contracts before the election in November.

Premier Andrews says if Labor wins, construction would start in 2019.
