A new toll-free motorway for easy connection to the future Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport has reached a major construction milestone, with work now underway for a year.
The new 16-kilometre road is on track to open in 2026 and is a $2 billion investment in Western Sydney being funded by the Australian and New South Wales governments.
Expected to carry 52,000 vehicles per day by 2036, the new road will have connectivity via Elizabeth Drive to the east and The Northern Road to the west.
Current works are being delivered by contractors Seymour Whyte along the central section and CPB-Georgiou Group Joint Venture through the western section of the future motorway with more than 2000 people being directly or indirectly employed.
Major construction on the M12 will be complete prior to the opening of the new Western Sydney International Airport in 2026.
