One week after Sydney's WestConnex road project opened, the NSW government is preparing for its biggest test.

One week after the nation's biggest road infrastructure project opened to the public, the NSW government is busy"jiggling and juggling" final traffic tests ahead of the real WestConnex stress test — the end of school holidays.Police, transport commanders and tow trucks will be on hand Monday to smooth the traffic flow, with the twin tunnels connecting Homebush and Haberfield at the price of $4.27 per trip.

"Opening when it was school holidays, that was deliberate, because we know that it takes people a while to get used to such a big piece of infrastructure," she said. Ms Prendergast said the real worry was how increased traffic would flow out of the tunnel when school returned on Monday. "We're going to be focused on where people are heading citybound and merging at Parramatta Road, Ashfield and City-West Link, Wattle Street, and that's because that's where the traffic merges and we're worried about potentially backing up into the tunnels," she said.
