The M7 upgrade: what it means for your drive

Cars on the M7

The M7 Motorway has had a major upgrade. With 26 kilometres of new lanes open and a new interchange connecting to Western Sydney International Airport, driving across Western Sydney has changed significantly.

A direct link to Western Sydney Airport

The completed M7/M12 Interchange at Cecil Park connects the M7 directly to the M12 Motorway and the new Western Sydney International Airport. Whether you're heading to the airport or driving across the region, the interchange can make the drive to your destination faster and easier.

 

More lanes and less time on the road

The M7 has been widened between Richmond Road, Oakhurst and the M5 Motorway at Prestons, with a new third lane added in each direction. The upgrade gives the M7 capacity for up to 30,000 additional vehicles a day, meaning less congestion for everyone.

If you're driving southbound from Marsden Park to Liverpool during peak hours, you could save up to 13 minutes per trip. Across the whole network, the upgrade is expected to give back more than four million hours of driving time every year.

Already, drivers on the M7 are saving up to 35 minutes northbound and 32 minutes southbound during peak periods compared with non-tolled routes.

 

Make sure you're ready to drive

The M7 is a tolled road. Opening a Linkt account or buying a pass before you drive is the easiest way to manage your tolls and avoid toll notices and administration fees.

If you already have a Linkt account, you're good to go.
