Project background
Western Harbour Tunnel (WHT) will be a 6.5 kilometre road tunnel connecting the Rozelle Interchange to the Warringah Freeway near North Sydney and crossing underneath Sydney Harbour between Birchgrove and Waverton. The project is being delivered in two stages. Stage 2 includes connections from Stage 1 at Cove Street in Birchgrove, underneath Sydney Harbour to the Warringah Freeway in North Sydney, and complete tunnel fit-out.
