Sydneysiders driving across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and tunnel should be forced to pay fees in both directions, a review into the city’s patchwork toll road network has recommended, alongside a vision to unify all paid roads under a consistent “declining distance-based rate” of tolling.
On Monday, the New South Wales government released the interim report of its review into Sydney’s toll road network, which has recommended changes to achieve a “reset” of the network, which would have the effect of spreading the city’s toll burden – estimated to cost drivers $123bn over the next 37 years – predominantly from the west to the eastern and northern suburbs.
