Welcome to the official home page of the Lane Cove Tunnel Action Group
Epping Road Now Around 100,000 vehicles travel along Epping Rd through Lane Cove every day. High levels of vehicle emissions can trigger asthma, bronchitis and heart disease in at-risk people. Exposure to particle pollutants is associated with lung cancer. Lane Cove Tunnel Action Group supports the Lane Cove Tunnel because it will remove around two thirds of the surface traffic and could improve local air quality.Reduced traffic volumes on Epping Rd will improve air quality at the roadside. However the tunnel itself may be a health hazard for at-risk people and toxic emissions will spew out from the vent stacks over Lane Cove and parts of Artarmon and Chatswood West unless the State Government insists on an appropriate filtration system inside the tunnel. Proven systems that remove particles and toxic gases, such as the oxides of nitrogen, are already operating in busy, long tunnels in several overseas countries. Such systems improve visibility, protect the health of people driving inside the tunnel and ensure that toxic emissions are not dumped on the local community.
