The M5 Legacy Way (formerly Northern Link Tunnel) is a long tunnel linking the Western Freeway at Toowong and the Inner City Bypass at Kelvin Grove, Brisbane. The project consisted of two bored tunnels carrying two motorway grade lanes of traffic in each direction. It opened on 25 June 2015 and is the fourth of five components of Brisbane City Council's TransApex Project. The tunnels will be tolled for approximately 45 years.〔Northern Link Initial Advice Statement, Brisbane City Council, September 2007〕〔〔(Tunnelling, Legacy Way, Transcity official website ) (accessed 24 April 2013)〕 The Environmental Impact Statement was released for public comment in September 2008 and approved in April 2010. Construction commenced in April 2011 with original plans to open the tunnel to traffic in late 2014. It is expected to carry 20,000 vehicles a day and has reduced travel time between the Centenary Bridge and the Inner City Bypass by 71%. The project was funded through council borrowings, together with a state and federal government contribution. ==Tender process== Three consortia were shortlisted and invited to submit proposals in December 2009:〔(Firms shortlisted for Northern Link tunnel )〕 *Northern Direct (a joint venture of Bouygues, Laing O'Rourke, Transfield Services), *Transcity (a joint venture of Acciona, BMD, Ghella), * Leighton Baulderstone Razel joint venture (LBRJV).
