The first major stage of Sydney's WestConnex project has opened to traffic more than three years after construction started on the $3.8 billion underground section. However there will be no toll-free period, with motorists charged up to $7.89 per trip, depending where they enter the M4. The new M4 tunnels between Homebush and Haberfield are expected to slash up to 20 minutes off a trip from Parramatta to the Sydney CBD.
