Sydney Gateway will provide a new, more direct connection from the WestConnex M4 and the WestConnex M8, to Sydney Airport and there is no additional toll to use Sydney Gateway.
Sydney Gateway includes more than five kilometres of new roads, including 19 new bridge connections around Tempe and Mascot and is being delivered by the NSW Government. Once the final stage is open, Sydney Gateway will have capacity for 100,000 vehicles and 10,000 trucks per-day. Instead of using local and arterial roads, Sydney Gateway offers a direct connection to Sydney Airport and Port Botany
The project began construction in 2021 and has opened in stages. The third and final stage which connects Gateway to WestConnex will open 1 September 2024.
