The state's roads authority has abandoned plans to dig two tunnel entrances in Sydney's inner west, including one near a primary school, for construction of the final stage of the $16.8 billion WestConnex toll road project following community opposition.

Sites planned for temporary tunnel entrances near Haberfield Public School, and another at Darley Road on which a Dan Murphy's bottle shop sits, will no longer be needed for tunnelling during construction, Roads and Maritime Services has confirmed.

Under the revised plans for the final stage of WestConnex, contractors will use seven sites in the inner west to build the twin tunnels linking the M4 and M5 motorways.

An existing site at Northcote Street at Haberfield that has been an entrance way for tunnelling for the first stage of WestConnex will continue to be used for the M4-M5 link, subject to planning approval. That means residents near the site will have to put up with a longer period of disruption caused by trucks removing spoil from the tunnels.
