A group of about 150 people, including state and federal Liberal MPs, gathered on the steps of Victorian Parliament on Saturday morning, to urge the Andrews government to move forward with the scrapped East West Link.

The crowd, led by federal Liberal MPs Michael Sukkar​ and Alan Tudge​, and state shadow public transport minister David Hodgett​, chanted "Build the Link" and carried signs reading "Stuck in traffic, blame Labor".

The MPs described Premier Daniel Andrews and federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten as "roadblocks" and called on Mr Andrews to "get out of the way".

The Andrews government axed the controversial toll road in fulfilment of an election promise and reached a $339 million deal in April to terminate a contract with the consortium that was supposed to build it.
