00:00Opening a gateway to the skies.
00:09These $2.6 billion motorways will open on Sunday morning, connecting the WestConnex
00:14tunnels with the international and domestic terminals.
00:18The government says the Sydney gateway could save drivers up to 17 minutes in peak hour,
00:25taking them off local roads through Mascot.
00:27It will mean no traffic lights from either Penrith or Parramatta, Campbelltown or Liverpool
00:33coming into the airport.
00:34The government's estimating up to 100,000 cars will use these roads every day.
00:39It's hoping the fact that there won't be any additional tolls will encourage drivers to
00:44test them out.
00:45I think one of the key lessons we learned from Roselle were people were surprised that
00:50there was a toll-free part of the network.
00:53This is toll-free.
00:54The government has released fly-throughs online to help drivers familiarise themselves with
00:59the new roads to avoid confusion and congestion.
01:04Hoping for a smooth take-off for the airport gateway.
