The West Gate Tunnel is one of Victoria’s largest and most complex road projects since the opening of the West Gate Bridge.
Construction was completed in 2025, with the tunnels opened to traffic on 14 December 2025.
Providing an alternative to the West Gate Bridge, the West Gate Tunnel delivers quicker and safer journeys and removes thousands of trucks from inner west streets.

Connecting communities
Heralding a new way to travel, the opening of the West Gate Tunnel and the Dixon Veloway drew huge community interest and excitement.
On 16 November 2025, over 51,000 people registered for Discovery Day for the West Gate Tunnel Discovery Day – a once-in-a-generation opportunity to run or walk the new road before it opened to traffic.
