The proposal includes the Western Harbour Tunnel, which would stretch from the Warringah Freeway at Cammeray, across Sydney Harbour, connecting to the WestConnex interchange at Rozelle.

The proposal also includes upgrades to Warringah Freeway to provide the connection point to the tunnels.

Designs for the project include plans for a 6.5 kilometre, twin mainline tunnels, comprising three lanes in each direction, as well as nine kilometres of surface road upgrade, four kilometres of which comprises the Warringah Freeway Upgrade.

If approved, the proposal is predicted to create 7500 full time construction jobs.

“Input from the community is essential to help us make a thorough and rigorous assessment and ensure potential impacts are fully considered,” Mr Gainsford said.
