Sydney Metro harbour tunnels
The Saturday Telegraph – in conjunction with Sydney Metro – is offering readers the once-in-lifetime opportunity to walk through the completed harbour tunnels with 30 double passes on offer.
Located 40m beneath the harbour at the deepest point, readers will be able to view first-hand the extraordinary engineering feat that has been achieved as part of a guided tour.
To occur on Sunday December 20, the one-way walk will begin at Blues Point and end up at Barangaroo.
The offer of a tunnel walk comes almost three decades since the Sydney Harbour Tunnel was opened to the public to walk through from Falcon St at North Sydney to The Domain in Eastern Sydney in 1992.
NSW Transport and Roads Minister Andrew Constance described the scale and engineering accomplishment of Sydney Metro as “breathtaking”.
“This new Metro railway will change Sydney for generations to come, making it easier and faster to get around,” he said.

“Being able to keep delivering this massive project throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has been a major support to the NSW economy, both in the direct employment of thousands of people and in supporting development across Sydney.
“This tour is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to walk under Sydney Harbour, where in a few short years driverless metro trains will be zipping through every four minutes – transforming our global city the way the Sydney Harbour Bridge, directly above these tunnels, changed Sydney a century ago.”
John Holland CPB Ghella project director Terry Sleiman said 11,000 people had worked on the tunnelling project.
“The pipeline of work announced recently has boosted confidence, and that is exactly what is needed now and into the future to help stimulate economic recovery after a pandemic affected year,” he said.
