HIGH-LEVEL talks into the design of the $61.8 billion WestConnex are aimed at work beginning by 2015.
Roads Minister Duncan Gay has begun consulting with 25 councils.
"We've shown them what the new flows will look like at a key intersection, King Georges Rd and the M5 East, where WestConnex plans will see two extra lanes in each direction," Mr Gay said yesterday.
He said four international consortiums and the Sydney Motorways Project Office were developing options for the Parramatta Rd, Airport Access Link and Inner West Tunnel sections.
Mr Gay said the project office's business case, to be delivered midyear, would demonstrate in more detail how the 33km WestConnex would proceed.
Committee for Sydney chief executive Dr Tim Williams said the WestConnex could relieve choked Parramatta Rd.
"At the moment, it is a traffic jam and a bunch of garages," he said. "There could be a significant number of homes built where people want to live. "It's an opportunity to create new high density, high quality neighbourhoods - as long as it is not another bad Sydney tunnel. If it is just a tunnel without renewal it would be a failure."
