Work on the $3 billion NorthConnex tunnel is nearing completion following the first end-to-end drive through along the M1-M2 link in Sydney.
The nine-kilometre twin tunnels join the M1 Pacific Motorway at Wahroonga to Pennant Hills Road-Cumberland Highway and the M2 Hills Highway.
This enables drivers to bypass 40 traffic lights on the Pacific Highway to the CBD or drive from Newcastle to Melbourne without a single set of traffic lights.
[Silverhall Comment – this will significantly reduce the travel time between the Central Coast and major employment hubs from the CBD to employment hubs including Norwest and Eastern Creek. We are forecasting a sizable relocation of employment from the Western Sydney suburbs to the Central Coast naturally increasing the demand for property]
