About the design
The T2D Project involves constructing two separate tunnels – the Southern Tunnels and the Northern Tunnels. The tunnels will be connected by an open motorway. The motorway and the tunnels will have three lanes operating in each direction, with a combined total distance of 10.5km.
Southern Tunnels
- Run between the open motorway at Darlington to just south of Anzac Highway in Glandore and provide key connectivity to Anzac Highway
- Includes about 4km of twin three-lane tunnels
Open motorway linking the tunnels
- Connecting key routes such as Richmond Road and James Congdon Drive, it will provide critical east-west connectivity and links to key destinations such as the airport
- Just over 2.5km in length
Northern Tunnels
- Run between James Congdon Drive and the existing open motorway south of Grange Road
- Includes about 2.2km of twin three-lane tunnels
When complete, more than 50% of the T2D Project will be tunnels.
- Twin tunnels
- 3 lanes in each direction
- 80 km/h speed limit
