Transport for NSW (Transport Infrastructure Projects) / M5 Westbound Traffic Upgrade – Registration of Interest (ROI) - 24.0000139286.0406.ROI

 The M5 Motorway is a key transport corridor that provides access between south-western Sydney and the inner suburbs of Sydney. The existing configuration of the Moorebank Avenue and Hume Highway intersections on the M5 Motorway is a contributing factor to this issue, as vehicles entering the motorway westbound from Moorebank Avenue need to cross lanes with traffic exiting the motorway for the Hume Highway, resulting in weaving movements.

The M5 Westbound Traffic Upgrade (M5WBTU) Project will result in upgrades to road and traffic upgrades on the M5 Motorway between the existing Moorebank Avenue and Hume Highway exits. Once completed, the M5WBTU will improve safety, traffic congestion and support the growth in the area at Moorebank Intermodal and Liverpool.

The Project is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments.

Additional information on the M5WBTU is available on the TfNSW website: https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/projects/current-projects/m5-motorway-westbound-traffic-upgrade
