Work on a major Sydney motorway tunnel is restarting about two years after sinkholes halted construction. Multiple outlets report that contractors have now returned to the project site, ending a prolonged suspension that has left motorists facing continued delays before the motorway becomes operational. The project is described as multibillion-dollar, but the restart does not immediately translate into an early opening, with the articles stressing that motorists still have a long wait.
The reporting across sources focuses on the timeline: tunnelling was stopped following the discovery of sinkholes, and construction has remained paused for roughly two years. The latest development is the resumption of tunnelling activities, indicating that remediation and planning steps have been completed enough for work to begin again. While the outlets agree on the overall situation—sinkholes stopping work and contractors returning—the information provided does not include new opening dates or specific technical details in the shared excerpts. Overall, the story centers on the restart of tunnelling work and the ongoing impact on expected availability of the motorway.
