Melbourne's canned East West Link toll road could be resurrected and built simultaneously with another huge new freeway if the coalition opposition wins the 2018 election.
Labor won power in 2014 promising to scrap the controversial tunnel under the city's inner north, eventually costing the state $1.2 billion to tear up the contracts.
But Opposition Leader Matthew Guy says it's time to to ease the city's "congestion calamity" and build the tunnel, which will connect CityLink with the Eastern freeway.
"If the money is there, we'll build it," Mr Guy told reporters in Melbourne on Friday.
The resurrected road could be built at the same time as the proposed North East Link, another giant road tunnel connecting freeways in Melbourne's north and east.
"(We) believe that there's an option to look at packaging it up as one project, but we haven't come to any conclusion on that," Mr Guy said.
"We're taking some advice on whether they could be done simultaneously or sequenced in a much closer rate."
Premier Daniel Andrews said Victorians made their decision on the East West Link in 2014 by voting Labor.
"We are delivering the projects that Victorians voted for," he told reporters on Friday, before giving his party's alternative roads solution a plug.
"If they vote for us again next time we will build the North East Link, a road that stacks up."
But opposition roads and infrastructure spokesman David Hodgett said the North East Link would dump thousands of extra cars on the city's edge with nowhere to go, adding that it would make more sense to build both toll roads.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said there is a "standing offer" of $3 billion for any Victorian government that built the East West Link.
"That's why Victoria needs Matt as premier, we will commit the $3 billion as promised," Mr Turnbull told 3AW on Friday.
Canberra handed Victoria $1.5 billion for the first half of the project in 2014, but when Labor axed the road, the money was instead spent on upgrades to freeways across Melbourne.
