Connector Motorways started off as the Lane Cove Tunnel Company and was engaged by Roads & Traffic Authority to design, construct, maintain and operate the tunnel for 33 years on 1 October 2003.[3] Connector Motorways was supposed to operate the tunnel concession until 2037.[4]
On 19 January 2010, Connector Motorways went into receivership[5] when traffic through the tunnel failed to reach the projected volumes. Toll road operator Transurban bought the tunnel in May 2010 for $630 million and became the new operator.[6]
