Entry and exit point Surface road Tunnel The first two stages of WestConnex, the New M4 Tunnels and the M8 are open and have transformed previously congested corridors, improved travel times and connectivity for motorists and freight. After almost three years of work on the WestConnex M4-M5 Link Tunnels excavation is now complete with 22 kilometres of tunnels and ramps now carved out and ready for paving. The tunnels will help slash up to 40 minutes from an average peak journey between Parramatta and Sydney Airport and also connect to future Projects including the Western Harbour Tunnel and the M6. Future projects being carried out by Transport for NSW Subject to planning approval Existing road and motorway Delivered by the NSW Government WestConnex is one of the most ambitious single road projects in Australia’s history and in just less than 10 years, 40% of Sydney’s population is expected to live within five kilometres of this network. It’s 33 kilometres of new and improved motorways and tunnels provide motorists with a continuous, traffic-light-free motorway network, that connects Sydney’s west and southwest suburbs with the CBD, Sydney Airport and Port Botany. It also provides for future projects linking the north shore and northern beaches.

I worked out that we bypass more than 20 traffic lights using the M8 instead of the Princess Highway. The time savings well and truly justify the toll for us and it’s great to finally have road infrastructure that directly services the inner west. — Thomas, Newtown resident
