West Gate Tunnel

A vital alternative to the West Gate Bridge, the West Gate Tunnel is opening later this year. 

This new connection will give drivers more choice to access the west, CBD, Port of Melbourne, airport and northern suburbs via the tunnel and other connection points.

Connecting to key freeways and CityLink, the new West Gate Tunnel is designed to support smoother journeys for a growing city.

Don't pay more than you have to
