Drivers in Sydney, NSW Australia are now able to benefit from the A$2.1 billion M12 motorway link, which has been opened to traffic. This 16km motorway section connects the Northern Road to the west of the city with the Elizabeth Road to the east of Sydney. This is one of several new road links for Sydney.
The new link is tolled and has a speed limit of 100km/h. Its opening is expected to make a major cut in traffic congestion in Sydney. A further component of the new route, an interchange between the M12 and the M7 at Cecil Hills, is due to open in mid-2026.
Part of the funding for the project has come from the Australian Government, with both the previous and present administrations having provided portions of the financing required.
