The North Connex project will link the M1 (F3) with the M2 and take at least 5,000 trucks a day off Pennant Hills Road. The construction will consist of twin tunnels, nine kilometres in length bypassing 21 sets of traffic lights. The more efficient movement of freight will deliver major benefits to the Australian and NSW economies, linking Newcastle and the Central Coast, Western and South Western Sydney and Melbourne by one continuous motorway.
North Connex will feature the longest road tunnels in this country. The construction of tunnels of this magnitude will require extensive consultation with the community prior to being approved.
