The $6.7 Billion Western Distributor project will provide an alternative to the West Gate Bridge and direct access to the Port. It will slash local congestion, improve productivity, reduce travel times and take trucks out of the inner west region adding substantial value to commercial properties on the western side of the Maribyrnong River. It is due for completion in 2022. Western Distributor changes and benefits: • Alternative to the West Gate Bridge with second river crossing • Daily peak travel times from the west slashed by up to 20 minutes • 5,600 new jobs created at the peak of construction • Up to 75% fewer trucks on Francis Street and Somerville Road • 6,000 fewer trucks on the West Gate Bridge • 6,000 fewer trucks on local streets in the inner west West Gate Tunnel Project Page 10 McArthurs Business Park | 40 – 52 McArthurs Rd, Altona North westgatetunnelproject.vic.gov.au
