TCL develops, maintains and operates toll roads in three different geographic regions, The US, Victoria in Australia and New South Wales in Australia. The company is currently seeking government approval for a A$2.65 billion tunnel for Sydney. This project could be owned by TCL by as much as 50%. This deal is considered a good one for investors as well and could turn out massive profits provided the New South Wales government decides to approve this deal to move forward. The proposed road is an 8 kilometer link that connects the M2 toll road at Pennant Hills to the M1 Pacific Motorway.
This road will be called F3-M2 link and is the longest link road of its kind in Australia. It is expected that this transformative tunnel for Sydney north will reflect well in the investors of the company if everything goes according to plan and expectation.
