Name of the Project
WestConnex – Rozelle Interchange and Iron Cove Link.

Location
Sydney, Australia.

Client
New South Wales government.

Project Description
WestConnex is the biggest road development in Australia. The project, which will ease traffic congestion and improve access and connections to western Sydney, comprises five projects that are being delivered in three stages. 

The M4-M5 Link Rozelle Interchange is part of the third stage, the most important of all the stages.

The Rozelle Interchange and Iron Cove Link envisages the construction of an underground motorway interchange to City West Link and underground bypass of Victoria road between Iron Cove bridge and Anzac bridge with links to the proposed future Western Harbour tunnel and Beaches link. This link will connect the new M4 and M5 motorways, providing underground travel for tens of thousands of vehicles every day.

Construction of the M4-M5 Link tunnels is expected to start later this year and will potentially open to traffic late 2022 with the Rozelle Interchange and Iron Cove Link opening around 12 months later.
