No M4 East without Federal money PDF Print E-mail
A tunnel connecting the M4 motorway and the CBD will not go ahead without Federal money, according to the NSW Government. Roads Minister David Borger admitted that state funding had been allocated to build the M4 East extension after revelations that the Government set out its determination to pursue the project in a submission to an Infrastructure Australia report in 2008.Funding has been committed to the project for planning and future work as part of the Nation Building Program 2009-2014.
However, in the short term, a project of this size is well above the funding capability of the NSW Government. Mr Borger said a “detailed preferred route” of the tunnel had not yet been decided, despite reports of the submission claiming there would be an exit in Rozelle.
