Emergency works are being carried out to improve pinch points" on Sydney's Rozelle interchange after the multibillion-dollar spaghetti junction caused traffic chaos when it opened last week.

The emergency works, which began on Monday and were due to be completed by the weekend, will add a second lane for 400 metres where the City West Link merges with the new Crescent Overpass before Anzac Bridge.
