Quicker trips with West Gate Tunnel
Did you know that for the same toll price, there are now two routes for travel between West Gate Freeway and CityLink/Tullamarine Fwy:
- West Gate Tunnel, or
- Bolte Bridge and West Gate Bridge
With West Gate Tunnel, you can skip the West Gate Bridge and Bolte Bridge, save time and enjoy smooth new connections including:
- A shorter route between the West Gate Freeway and M2 CityLink/Tullamarine Freeway towards Melbourne Airport and the northern suburbs
- A way to bypass the Bolte Bridge and West Gate Bridge
- More choice to suit traffic, timing and your day
