Australia’s Longest Tunnel Road Earmarked Under Blue Mountains The New South Wales government is looking to build Australia’s longest tunnel road under the Blue Mountains west of Sydney as part of a “history-making” infrastructure project. If completed, the 11-kilometre tunnel would help shorten the commute between Blackheath and Mount Victoria, as the final stage of the 130 kilometres of planned Great Western Highway upgrades. The government has already committed to a 4.5 kilometre and 4 kilometre tunnel under  Blackheath and Mt Victoria, respectively, and are now looking into the feasibility of connecting the two. “This proposal would see those tunnels joined together, creating the longest road tunnel in the country,” Deputy Premier John Barilaro said.
