First Sod Turned on NorthConnex Project

Member for Bradfield Paul Fletcher today joined with colleagues from the Federal and NSW Governments and the NorthConnex project team to turn the first sod on the NorthConnex project in Wahroonga.

“Today marks the beginning of the construction phase on the new nine kilometre long tunnel, running under the existing route of Pennant Hills Road, linking the M1 and M2 motorways to reduce congestion, shorten travel times and improve safety,” said Mr Fletcher.

“I am very pleased to support this important project that has been backed with a commitment of $405 million by the Abbott Government federally, and of $405 million by the Baird Government in NSW.”

“This project will deliver significant benefits for my constituents in Bradfield,” Mr Fletcher said.
