Transport for NSW (Transport Infrastructure Projects) / Western Harbour Tunnel (WHT) Tolling Solution – Market Interactive Process (MIP) - IPD-RM-10067041

Western Harbour Tunnel is a major transport infrastructure project that will make it easier, faster and safer to get around Sydney. By creating a western bypass of the Sydney CBD, Western Harbour Tunnel will take pressure off the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Harbour Tunnel, Anzac Bridge and Western Distributor to improve transport capacity in and around Sydney Harbour.

TfNSW intends to deploy a tagless tolling solution for the Western Harbour Tunnel and has developed a concept solution that combines current technology with key opportunities and innovations.  The concept solution is designed to meet the specific requirements of the Western Harbour Tunnel and be aligned with the TfNSW Future Transport Technology Roadmap.

The MIP participants will be briefed on TfNSW’s proposed tolling solution and provided with a written description ahead of an industry briefing session.

MIP participants are invited to submit answers to a series of questions relating to the tolling solution. Where participants choose to submit written answers, TfNSW may request a follow up with the participant to clarify and better understand the provided answers.

To participate in the MIP, each applicant must satisfy the Entry Requirement and provide the Required Documents to TfNSW’s satisfaction:
