TOLL-FREE, FOURTEEN KILOMETRES OF M12 MOTORWAY SURFACE NOW COMPLETE

The toll-free M12 Motorway has passed a major construction milestone with 14 kilometres of the road now complete, on time and on budget and ready to provide direct access to Western Sydney Airport once open in 2026.

The road is now being landscaped, sign posted and having safety infrastructure installed. Once opened, it will link the new Western Sydney International Airport at Badgerys Creek to the wider Sydney motorway network, Elizabeth Drive and The Northern Road.

This last section connecting into the M7 Motorway and still in construction will add around 2 kilometres to the project.

Significantly, this marks the first time the public could technically drive the full length between The Northern Road and works near the Elizabeth Drive off ramp at Cecil Park. This will leave just connecting and finishing works to complete before the entire 16-kilometre road is opened to the public in 2026.

The 800 million towards fixing Elizabeth Drive and $1 billion on Fifteenth Avenue."

Member for Werriwa, Anne Stanley said:

"This is one of a number of new vital new road connections that the State and Federal Governments are delivering to ensure Western Sydney's new airport is easily accessible.
"The M12 will provide a toll-free east to west connection from the M7 to the new Airport, and our investments in Elizabeth Drive and Fifteenth Avenue will ensure people from other parts of Western Sydney can easily access their new airport as well."

Member for Leppington Nathan Hagarty said:

"I welcome this major milestone in connecting all of us to the new Western Sydney Airport, along with upgrades to Fifteenth Avenue, Elizabeth Drive and other key roads.
"This is all part of ensuring communities like Leppington have easier access to the jobs and opportunities the new airport will bring. These investments ensure everyday travel is easier and we're building a stronger, more connected Western Sydney."
