The West Gate Tunnel, formerly known as the Western Distributor, is an 8-kilometre (5.0 mi) freeway-standard toll road in Melbourne, Australia, to link the West Gate Freeway at Yarraville with the Port of Melbourne and CityLink at Docklands. The western half of the toll road consists of twin tunnels with three lanes each. The eastbound inbound tunnel, known as Eureka Tunnel, is approximately 4 km (2.5 mi) long, while the westbound outbound tunnel, known as Bundawanh Tunnel, is approximately 2.8 km (1.7 mi) long. The eastern half of the toll road consists of a new bridge over the Maribyrnong River and an elevated road above Footscray Road.
