When completed, the West Gate Tunnel will be tolled. Tolling will help balance traffic across the freeway network and also help fund the tunnel’s construction and ongoing operation. There will be four new toll points. Toll charging and prices will vary depending on what type of vehicle you’re driving.
Heavy vehicles will pay a single total toll when travelling on the upgraded West Gate Freeway, new tunnels and city connections. Cars, motorcycles and light commercial vehicles will pay tolls when travelling using the motorway's new tunnels and city connections.
Toll points
Upgraded West Gate Freeway toll point
The upgraded West Gate Freeway toll point will be between Millers and Williamstown roads.
Cars, motorcycles and light commercial vehicles (LCVs)
Cars, motorcycles and LCVs won’t be charged tolls at this point: travel on the upgraded West Gate Freeway is free for these vehicles.
Heavy vehicles
Tolls will apply for both heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs), including rigid and articulated trucks and buses; and high productivity freight vehicles (HPFV) (the new generation of larger trucks) travelling on the upgraded West Gate Freeway.

The new West Gate Tunnel will also have three toll points:
- the future Hyde St ramps
