Construction is well underway on a 16km motorway – the M12 – linking the M7 Motorway at Cecil Hills to The Northern Road at Luddenham.

The M12 Motorway is a critical piece of road infrastructure, providing direct access between the future airport and Sydney’s motorway network, as well as additional road capacity for predicted traffic growth in the region.

The motorway will comprise two lanes in each direction, with a central median allowing for future expansion to three lanes in each direction.

A number of bridge structures will be constructed to allow for the M12 to cross several creeks and provide grade separation from local and arterial roads along the corridor.

The project will be delivered in stages, with the priority being to deliver the connection between the M7 and the Western Sydney Airport prior to opening in 2026.

The project was identified in the Future Transport Strategy 2056 as a committed initiative for the next 0 – 10 years as part of the Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan.
