Benefits of the project

The Cross City Tunnel is a vital link in Sydney's motorway network.

Benefits of the Cross City Tunnel include: 

• Cut trips across the city to approximately 2 minutes, from up to 20 minutes by avoiding 18 sets of traffic lights. 
• Remove vehicles from city streets. 
• Improve the reliability of bus services in the city. 
• Improve access and movement within the city for taxis, delivery vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. 
• Make city streets safer and more pleasant for pedestrians, residents and business people by removing intrusive through traffic and providing more footpath space in some streets.
