Works are continuing in October, with pavement kerb and gutter works in the median strip and footpath upgrades on President Avenue and Princes Highway. The installation of traffic signalling and signage continues on President Avenue, currently between Roslyn Avenue and The Grand Parade. These works will support future traffic management signalling and provide over height truck detection warnings. Stormwater drainage activities are continuing between Princes Highway and Oakdale Avenue, with work on road crossings taking place during nightworks.
Three base slab pours within the tunnel portal are scheduled for this month, and we will commence installing the precast deck on President Avenue bridge.
Read our October 2024 notification for the full program of roadworks construction activities.

A new landmark has transformed the landscape of Kogarah and Brighton-Le-Sands with the installation of a new pedestrian and cyclist bridge over President Avenue.
Two steel sections of President Avenue bridge were lifted into place between 9pm, Saturday 13 July and 5am, Sunday 14 July. President Avenue was closed between West Botany Street and O'Connell Street during this time to facilitate the installation. The three bridge spans were manufactured using 121 tonnes of steel with the main span weighing 70 tonne.
The new President Avenue bridge will link Bicentennial Park and Scarborough Park, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to seamlessly and safely cross over the busy thoroughfare. President Avenue bridge is a key feature of the five kilometre shared pedestrian and cyclist pathway and will be accessible on the completion of the shared pathway in late 2025.
The shared pathway has been designed to connect the community with revitalised natural landscapes, new green spaces, playgrounds, picnic areas and fields, being constructed as part of the M6 Stage 1’s Urban and Design Landscape Plan.
Learn more about the parkland and landscape design plans.

A major milestone has been reached on the M6 Stage 1 project with the completion of the final cable pull for the Permanent Power Supply (PPS) on Thursday, 5 September. The last cable was successfully installed between Joint Bay 8 at Kimpton Street and Joint Bay 9 at York Street, Rockdale.
This 7-kilometre underground PPS, stretching from Ausgrid’s Canterbury Substation in Earlwood to the Motorway Operations Centre in Rockdale, will provide reliable power for essential tunnel systems, including lighting and ventilation. This achievement not only concludes a critical phase of the project but also ensures the necessary power supply needed for the M6 Stage 1 tunnels.
The roads previously excavated for the installation of the power supply will be permanently restored. The activities include backfilling of joint bays, restoration of roads, traffic islands and kerbs, and line marking. Road restoration started in June 2024 and is now in its final stages and is steadily advancing along the alignment.
While most of the work will take place during the day, certain sections will be done at night to minimise traffic disruptions.
Due to some delays in authority approvals, we now anticipate the Permanent Power Supply works to be fully completed by the end of November 2024.
For more information about the program of works, including an interactive map, please visit our dedicated Permanent Power Supply page.
