Preparing for Launch: Western Harbour Tunnel Progress
The Minns Labor Government is advancing with Sydney's first new road harbour crossing in nearly 30 years, aiming to deliver a world-class, publicly-owned infrastructure piece.
Construction of massive twin underground caverns at Birchgrove is complete, serving as launch chambers for the largest twin tunnel boring machines (TBMs) in the southern hemisphere, Barangaroo and Patyegarang.
- The TBMs will dig the 1.5 kilometre underwater section of the Tunnel up to 50 metres below sea level to Waverton.
- The Tunnel is expected to deliver travel time savings to motorists and reduce traffic on the Western Distributor by 35 per cent, in the Harbour Tunnel by 20 per cent, and on the Sydney Harbour Bridge by 17 per cent.
The Tunnel is a true game changer that will reshape the way Sydney moves.
