To support future development growth in Western Sydney, and to provide a major boost to the road network in Western Sydney, the NSW Government has commissioned the M7-M12 Integration project, which includes three major elements:
M7-M12 Interchange
a connection between the new toll-free M12 Motorway and the existing Westlink M7 Motorway
Elizabeth Drive Connection
a new connection between the M12 Motorway and Elizabeth Drive, and the realignment of Wallgrove and Cecil Roads at Cecil Hills
Westlink M7 Widening
a new lane in each direction within the existing median of the M7 between the M5 and Richmond Road, excluding at the Westlink M7/M4 Motorway (Light Horse) Interchange
Overview
The M7-M12 Integration project will support future development growth in Western Sydney by improving travel times and congestion. Once complete, the project will provide direct access to commercial and residential hubs, and the new Western Sydney International Airport.
The Concessionaire of the M7 Motorway put an unsolicited proposal to the NSW Government in September 2020 to deliver the M7-M12 Interchange as part of a proposed program to widen the M7 Motorway. The unsolicited proposal was approved by the NSW Government in 2022.
What's happening
John Holland has been appointed to design and construct the M7-M12 Integration project. Construction of the project is expected to take three years and will be open to traffic in 2026.
