Miss a green light. Delivery truck blocking the path. Stuck behind someone describing their extremely terrible date in detail.
On any given morning in the CBD any of these roadblocks might add a few precious minutes to your walk to the office which might mean having to skip your coffee – what a shame!
Well, a brand-new undercover pedestrian network has just been announced – and it’s going to make your commute a whole lot zippier.

The planned connection will link Hunter Street Station to Wynyard Station and will hopefully eradicate all those people who prefer to faff about.
The project is being touted as a big solution for commuters by providing an efficient way to move through the city as well as providing weather protection to prevent further delays.
According to the NSW Government, they predict that by 2036 around 10,000 people will move through the Hunter Street Station during peak hour – that’s a lot of hooves to account for.
Getting into the nitty-gritty around how this undercover path will look, it has been announced that two connections will form the east-west network.
The first connection will use the existing Hunter Connection Tunnel and will link to Brookfield Place and Wynyard Walk. A second link will connect the Hunter Street Metro station through to the Martin Place Metro station.
Construction is underway now, so get ready to soon zoom through the CBD at the speed of lightning.
