NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said: “The tunnel will not only revolutionise how we get around Sydney but also take the pressure off other major roads including the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Harbour Tunnel, Anzac Bridge and Western Distributor.”

As per the estimates, the new tunnel could reduce traffic by 35% on the Western Distributor, 20% on Harbour Tunnel and 17% on Harbour Bridge.

NSW Minister for Metropolitan Roads Natalie Ward said: “You’ll save up to 20 minutes in a journey from Sydney Olympic Park to North Sydney and up to 15 minutes from North Sydney to the airport at Mascot.”

CIMIC Group executive chairman and CEO Juan Santamaria said: “The Western Harbour Tunnel will be an important addition to Sydney’s transport network.

“It will ease traffic congestion on the existing harbour crossings and improve Sydney’s liveability.”
