“We undertook some very high-level analysis of the interchange and its impact and what would happen post-opening,and we shared that information with the government at the time,” she said.
She did not elaborate on the findings of the analysis,or the exact “hotspots” it had identified.
Kelly and another Transurban manager faced a grilling on Tuesday at the inquiry from Greens MP Cate Faehrmann about redactions of parts of several documents relating to agreements between Transurban and the government. A Transurban-led consortium operates the Rozelle interchange and the rest of the 33-kilometre WestConnex toll road.
Four pages from a deed for one of the WestConnex motorways relating to “Rozelle interchange compensation principles” have been redacted by Transport for NSW following a request under freedom of information laws.
Motorists using Victoria Road and other local streets have enduredmajor delays while vehicles exiting the WestConnex tunnels from the spaghetti junction have enjoyed clearer runs onto the Anzac Bridge during morning peaks.
It has sparked concerns that vehicles from the WestConnex tunnels have been prioritised over motorists using local routes such as Victoria Road.
