A 4km tunnel and the widening of the M4 motorway will be the first works on the WestConnex motorway project in Sydney, Australia. The initial works will cost between US$2.72 billion (AUD 3 billion) and $3.6 billion (AUD 4 billion). The tunnel will run from Strathfield to Ashfield and will run under the Parramatta Road. The government has pledged $1.62 billion (AUD 1.8 billion) to the project.
Announced in October 2012, the completed 33km WestConnex motorway will cover the western, inner western, and southern suburbs of Sydney. It was last year said to be the highest priority infrastructure project for the state of New South Wales, aimed at helping to relieve Sydney’s longstanding congestion problems.
