新南威尔士州政府与收费路运营商Transurban经过两年协商,宣布对悉尼多条高速公路实施分阶段的收费优惠方案 [1]。其中Lane Cove隧道和M2高速的较长车程收费将从2025年7月起削减10% [1],而M7高速的距离计费上限也将下调10%,该调整自2028年1月生效,前提条件是高速公路完成扩宽 [1]。
Cross City隧道的收费幅度最大,待2028年西港隧道投入使用后,该隧道收费将减少20% [1]。此外,政府还将悉尼港大桥和港隧的年度收费增幅上限从4%降至3.25%,该措施从2027年7月1日起实施 [1]。政府最近还将周收费总额上限从60澳元降至50澳元,该优惠政策将维持12个月 [1]。
The New South Wales government has secured a significant reduction in tolls across Sydney's motorway network through an extended agreement with toll operator Transurban [1]. The deal, which follows negotiations that began in July 2024, will deliver relief to commuters through a series of staged cuts and fare caps implemented over the coming years [1].
Effective from July 2025, tolls on longer journeys via the Lane Cove Tunnel and M2 Motorway will decrease by 10 percent [1]. The reduction on the M7 Motorway's distance-based pricing ceiling will commence on January 1, 2028, pending the completion of motorway widening works [1]. A more substantial 20 percent toll reduction for the Cross City Tunnel is scheduled to take effect when the Western Harbour Tunnel opens in 2028 [1]. Additionally, the government has capped future toll increases on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Harbour Tunnel at 3.25 percent annually from July 1, 2027, down from the previous 4 percent [1].
In immediate relief, the government recently lowered the weekly toll cap from $60 to $50 for a 12-month period [1].
