Residents protest opening of WestConnex tunnel

Residents gathered at several sites near entrances to the environmentally and socially disastrous WestConnex tollway tunnel on July 13 to protest the opening of the NSW Coalition government's signature $27 billion transport nightmare.


At Ashfield Park, adjacent to a nearby tunnel entrance, protesters displayed banners reading “Sydney needs more trains and buses, not tollroads” and “Crowded trains, traffic jams and tolls: Who wins? Who loses?”
