Rebel Wilson has gone to extraordinary lengths to avoid Sydney traffic.
The LA-based n actor, who recently returned home to direct her upcoming film The Deb, took to Instagram on Wednesday to vent once again about congestion at the newly-opened Westconnex Rozelle Interchange in the inner-west.
The Pitch Perfect star, 43, then revealed she had hired a helicopter to take her to work that day.
‘I’ve had to get a helicopter to work because of the traffic at the Rozelle Interchange, but you know, it’s all good,’ said the actress sarcastically.
Behind her a helicopter could be seen preparing to take her to work.
Wilson has previously called on the New South Wales government to fix one of Sydney’s most notorious intersections, after she was forced to sit at traffic lights for 30 minutes.
The roadway, which stretches for 16.6km and cost the government $4billion, was opened late last month and has been referred to by critics as the ‘spaghetti junction’ due to its confusing arrangement.
Filming herself in the passenger’s seat on Tuesday, Wilson complained she was running late to work because of the traffic and branded the interchange as ‘crazy’.
‘I’ve just been stuck in traffic. I’m just trying to go to work, it’s a Tuesday morning. You know, what normally can take 15 minutes, 30 minutes, to go from Victoria Road to the Anzac Bridge… I literally was just at one traffic lights for almost 30 minutes,’ she ranted.

Rebel said the interchange’s traffic lights make it almost impossible for residents living in suburbs like Balmain and Rozelle to ‘drive anywhere in the mornings’.
‘Like, it’s literally crazy. And I’m sure you guys are out there running late to work as well, it’s a nightmare. There’s nothing you can do,’ the mother-of-one lamented.
Rebel accompanied her rant with a fiery caption that read: ‘Government needs to do something re Rozelle Interchange NOW! Let the traffic flow from Victoria Rd to Anzac Bridge like it used to!!’

In a subsequent post, she added: ‘Having a baby, and working 12 hour days means I do NOT need an extra hour STUCK IN SYDNEY traffic caused by stupid decisions!’
It is just one of the many examples of Rebel lambasting the Rozelle Interchange on her Instagram Stories.
Last Wednesday, she posted another photo from inside her car after being forced to wait in traffic.
In a subsequent post, she added: ‘Having a baby, and working 12 hour days means I do NOT need an extra hour STUCK IN SYDNEY traffic caused by stupid decisions!’
‘Thanks Rozelle Interchange for now making a 15 minute trip into the city 90 minutes via Victoria Road. WTF!!’ the Pitch Perfect star wrote next to a photo of the gridlocked road.
The NSW government previously warned the new Rozelle Interchange could lead to up to six months of increased congestion while drivers get used to the new set-up.
Meanwhile, a sign outside of one of the tunnels previously added to the confusion.

The sign at the entrance of the new 1.1km Iron Cove Link that bypasses Victoria Road – the only section of the interchange that’s free to use – told commuters they would have to pay to use it.
Premier Chris Minns recently told 2GB the interchange was ‘clearly… confusing – a lot of cars’ GPS hasn’t caught up’.
Mr Minns said the government would ‘change that sign’ while portable electronic signs would be used in the interim to tell commuters they won’t have to pay a toll on the bypass.
