The Victorian Government has delivered the first part of the West Gate Tunnel Project.
The completion of the new Wurundjeri Way extension has provided a new direct link into Docklands and the Marvel stadium – creating a safer, faster and more reliable connection between Dynon Road and Flinders Street.
The bypass is also expected to add much-needed capacity to the road network by taking up to 5,000 vehicles off some of the city’s busiest thoroughfares every day.
Importantly, the West Gate Tunnel Project’s Wurundjeri Way extension is a crucial new inner-city connection which will allow traffic to flow more freely.
“The new Wurundjeri Way extension will make getting around our city easier – providing another connection for Melbourne’s west to the CBD, and the first new CBD bypass in a quarter of a century,” said the Premier of Victoria, Jacinta Allan.
Once open, the West Gate Tunnel will deliver a vital alternative to the West Gate Bridge – providing a safer, more efficient second river crossing and removing more than 9,000 trucks from local roads.
