Driving Melbourne’s West Gate Tunnel (Full Drive) In this video we take you straight through the West Gate Tunnel in Melbourne — one of the city’s most talked-about pieces of major infrastructure- 3 years overdue and a billion or two over budget. I was excited to drive through the tunnel, but it seemed not many others were, even though it was toll free. Speaking of tolls, here’s what you need to know about toll pricing outside of free travel periods: 🚗 Light Vehicles (cars & motorcycles) • Standard toll (one-way): • Motorcycles: ~$2.07 • Cars: ~$4.13 • Light commercial vehicles (LCV): ~$6.61 • AM peak surcharge (weekday mornings 7–9am): • Motorcycles: ~$3.31 • Cars: ~$6.61 • LCVs: ~$10.58 (Surcharges only apply if exiting at certain city ramp points.) 🚚 Heavy Vehicles (trucks & commercial) • Single trip toll through the tunnel: • Heavy commercial vehicle: ~$19.99 (day) / ~$13.33 (night) • Large heavy vehicle: ~$29.98 (day) / ~$19.99 (night) 📆 24-Hour Pass Options • Cars West Gate Tunnel only: ~$16.95 • Cars West Gate Tunnel + CityLink: ~$38.52 • Heavy vehicle passes available with multiple-trip discounts 🆓 What Was Free • During the tunnel’s initial launch period, weekend travel in January was toll-free — that’s when this footage was captured ⸻ ❓ Now the big questions: Is the West Gate Tunnel Melbourne’s biggest failure or just a slow burn?
