NorthConnex design

The NorthConnex twin tunnels are around nine kilometres in length with two large 3.5 metre lanes with an additional break down lane in case of an incident or emergency.

The tunnel generally follows the alignment of Pennant Hills Road but without the sharp corners and hills. This makes the journey faster, safer, more reliable and more efficient, reducing operational and maintenance costs for motorists.
