WestConnex is Australia’s largest road project, and is part of an integrated transport plan to keep Sydney moving - easing congestion, creating jobs and connecting communities.

The new motorway will achieve a vital missing link in Sydney’s motorway network and support Sydney’s economic growth and urban revitalisation.

WestConnex is made up of six projects and is being delivered by Sydney Motorway Corporation in three stages, and will:
* Widen the M4 between Parramatta and Homebush and extend it in underground tunnels between Homebush and Haberfield.
* Double road capacity along the M5 East corridor with the New M5 underground tunnels running between St Peters and Kingsgrove.
* Provide an underground link between the extended M4 and New M5 motorways creating a seamless journey without traffic lights.
* Provide a western bypass of the Sydney central business district (CBD).
* Provide connections to the Western Harbour Tunnel and BeachesLink.
* Provide a connection to Sydney Airport and Port Botany via Sydney Gateway (which will be delivered by Roads and Maritime Services).

The M4-M5 Link project is the fifth project being delivered as part of the WestConnex program of works and it will be delivered as two separate packages:

Main Tunnel Works - including the design and construction of:
* Twin tunnels, each four-lanes wide linking the M4 East at Haberfield to the New M5 at St Peters;
* Ramps between the main tunnels and the surface interchange at St Peters;
* Tunnel stubs to connect with the Rozelle Interchange and proposed future Western Harbour Tunnel;
* Ramps between the main tunnels and the surface connection at Wattle Street;
* New ancillary facilities at St Peters; and
* Integration with ancillary facilities at Haberfield.

The procurement process for the Main Tunnel Works package has commenced and the works are expected to commence in 2018 with opening completion expected in 2022.

Rozelle Interchange - including the design and construction of:
* An interchange at Rozelle providing connections from the Main Tunnel Works to the surface road network at City West Link, Victoria Road and Anzac Bridge, and providing provision for connections to the future Western Harbour Tunnel;
* Up to 10 hectares of new public open space located at the site of the disused Rozelle Rail Yards;
* Active transport links; and
* Motorway operational facilities.

Works are expected to commence in 2019 with opening completion expected in 2023.
