WestConnex: a $16 billion mega project

The $16 billion WestConnex project is almost halfway done.
This mega project is aiming to support Sydney's booming population.

WestConnex will better connect Western Sydney to better employment hubs in the city along with creating 10,000 direct and indirect jobs.

Furthermore, it is expected that WestConnex will reduce the $6 billion annual cost of congestion in Sydney. So far WestConnex has;

- Widened the M5 between Parramatta and Homebush, allowing
commuters to bypass 28 sets of traffic lights
- Created new access points to the new M4 between Parramatta and Homebush
- Lengthened the on and off ramps at the King Georges Road M5 Interchange

As part of the project WestConnex will also;
- Extend the M4 twin underground tunnels
- Along the M5 East Corridor the project will double road capacity with new M5 underground tunnels between St Peters and Kingsgrove
- Join the underground M4 and M5 tunnels together
- Provide a western bypass of the Sydney CBD
- Provide connections of the future Western Harbour Tunnel, BeachesLink, F6 extension and the major international gateways at Sydney Airport and Port Botany.
