Expressions of Interest (EOIs) is now open for submission for New South Wales’ Sydney Gateway project - a new alternative route to Sydney Airport’s domestic and international terminals from the Sydney motorway network at St Peters Interchange.
“The delivery of the toll-free Sydney Gateway will be a massive improvement to the way motorists travel to Sydney Airport, and take around 10,000 heavy vehicles off local streets in Mascot every day as they travel to Port Botany,” Premier Gladys Berejiklian said.
Once completed, travelling to Sydney Airport will take less time. Motorists will be able to save approximately 40 minutes from Parramatta, 30 minutes from Haberfield, 22 minutes from Bankstown or Campbelltown and 9 minutes from Rozelle.
Sydney Gateway will also be able to slash up to 36 minutes from Eastern Creek to Port Botany; 30 minutes from Silverwater; and 20 minutes from Moorebank or Wetherill Park.
“Sydney Gateway will include a dedicated flyover to the front door of the domestic airport terminal and improve connections towards Port Botany.
“There will be further time savings from Parramatta, Dee Why, Moorebank and Campbelltown, and provide relief to Southern Cross Drive, King Georges Road and the M5 East tunnel,” Minister for Roads Andrew Constance said.
The winning private sector bidder who will build the Sydney Gateway project is going to be chosen through the expressions of interest process. In addition, an environmental impact statement is set to be released by the end of the year.
Sydney Gateway is anticipated to be completed by 2023, which will coincide with the completion of WestConnex.
