Project Description:
WestConnex will provide high quality, motorway standard connections linking Sydney’s west and southwest to the city, airport and port, with more than 30 kilometres of continuous motorway. The project will transform urban travel by providing enhanced connectivity between key employment hubs and local communities.
WestConnex is being delivered in three stages and comprises three concessions, each of which includes various motorway assets:
New M4 concession:
-
M4 Widening (Parramatta to Homebush): widening the existing M4 Motorway from Parramatta to Homebush.
-
New M4 Tunnels (Homebush to Haberfield): extending the M4 Motorway in tunnels between Homebush and Haberfield via Concord.
New M5 concession:
- New M5 Tunnels (Beverly Hills to St Peters): duplicating the M5 East from King Georges Road in Beverly Hills with tunnels from Kingsgrove to a new interchange at St Peters.
- King Georges Road Interchange Upgrade (Beverly Hills): upgrade of the King Georges Road Interchange between the widened M5 West and the M5 East at Beverly Hills.
M4-M5 Link concession:
- M4-M5 Link Tunnels: connection of the New M4 in Haberfield and the New M5 in St Peters via two tunnels.
- Rozelle Interchange: a new underground motorway interchange which provides connectivity to the M4-M5 Link Tunnels and the City West Link, and an underground bypass of Victoria Road between Iron Cove Bridge and Anzac Bridge. The Rozelle Interchange also provides a connection to the future Western Harbour Tunnel.
Private Sector Partners:
Roads and Maritime has awarded three separate WestConnex concessions to build, operate, finance, maintain and toll the three stages. The three WestConnex concessionaires are owned by the Sydney Transport Partners consortium (51%) and the State (49%).
