The M12 Motorway is a new 16-kilometre motorway that will provide direct access to Western Sydney International Airport at Badgery’s Creek and connect to Sydney’s existing motorway network.

The toll-free motorway will support future growth in western Sydney while increasing road capacity, reducing congestion, and improving travel times.
Construction work commenced in August 2022 with work scheduled to be complete prior to the opening of the new Western Sydney International Airport in 2026.
A portion of the Parklands adjacent to Elizabeth Drive was acquired by Transport for NSW to construct the M12 Motorway.

During detailed design of the M12, Transport for NSW agreed to relocate the alignment adjacent to Elizabeth Drive, to minimise the impact on the Southern Parklands precinct.

Transport for NSW continues to work with Western Sydney Parklands to minimise the M12 Motorway’s impact on the Parklands.
The M12 Motorway, initially known as Western Sydney Airport Motorway, is an under-construction east-west motorway in Sydney, Australia, linking between the M7 Motorway and The Northern Road, as part of the Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan. Wikipedia

    how bloody good is infrastructure
  • Thanks for the vid! It's remarkable just how enormous just one auxiliary part of the project is! The airport is the headline act, but even the support acts are huge!
