The NSW Premier and Treasurer are seeking Federal funding to deliver on promises to fix traffic problems in Sydney's inner west. This may strain the State's budget for major road projects like the $8 billion M4 East extension. Both levels of government see the M4 extension and a new $12 billion metro rail system as priorities to reduce congestion, but the metro may take a large part of the State's transport funds. Infrastructure Australia will produce a priority list for future Federal spending that the State Government wants the M4 extension included on.
