About the project
The Australian and NSW governments are securing a brighter future for Western Sydney’s growing residents, visitors and workers by delivering the new M12 Motorway.
The 16 kilometre motorway features two lanes in each direction with capacity for future widening to three lanes.
Major construction started in August 2022 on the West and Central sections between The Northern Road, Luddenham and Duff Road, Cecil Park. We expect the new motorway to be complete before the opening of the Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport.
Our standard work hours will be between 7am and 6pm from Monday to Friday and between 8am and 6pm on Saturdays. There will be no work on public holidays.

Proposal to widen the M7 Motorway
We are proposing to widen the Westlink M7 in the central median between the M5 interchange at Prestons and the Westlink M7 bridge at Richmond Road in Oakhurst/Glendenning. Once complete there would be three lanes in each direction.
We invited feedback on the proposal and Modification Report between Wednesday 3 August and Tuesday 23 August 2022.
We have prepared a Submissions Report responding to community and stakeholder feedback received which can be read here.
The Submissions Report will help the Department of Planning and Environment determine the modification application. Should the proposal be approved, construction is expected to start in 2023.
