Description

Melbournes West Gate Tunnel: A Game-Changer for CommutersThe West Gate Tunnel, a $10.2 billion project, is finally complete, set to open this Sunday. This massive undertaking aims to reduce truck traffic on local roads, potentially saving commuters up to 20 minutes on their travel time. The tunnel features twin tunnels, a widened West Gate Freeway, and an elevated road, along with a cycling path and new connections. Despite costing $5 billion more and opening three years late, the tunnel is expected to significantly improve commuting for Melbourne drivers.
