Description

Melbournes West Gate Tunnel officially opens, easing traffic and removing heavy vehicles from local streets. This $10.2 billion project, initially proposed by former Premier Daniel Andrews, aims to reduce congestion in the citys fastest-growing areas. Despite delays due to PFAS chemical discovery, the tunnel is expected to save commuters time and reshape travel across the west. This comes just weeks after another major transport upgrade, the Metro Tunnel, marking a significant transformation of Melbournes infrastructure.
