M5 Motorway upgrade Westbound from Moorebank Avenue to Hume HighwayHave your say – recommended design
December 2019
The NSW Government is planning to ease congestion and improve safety on the M5 Motorway for motorists travelling westbound between Moorebank Avenue and Hume Highway.
Background Motorists travelling westbound on the M5 Motorway through Moorebank currently experience traffic congestion in the afternoon peak. This is caused by traffic entering the motorway westbound at Moorebank Avenue, and merging with traffic already on the motorway that is looking to exit at Hume Highway. Increasing heavy vehicles travelling from the Moorebank Logistics Park will also add to the congestion.
Recommended designTransport for NSW has identified a design to upgrade the M5 Motorway westbound in this area to reduce congestion and improve the surrounding road network efficiency. The recommended design would include the following:
• A new two lane bridge over Georges River and the T2, T3 and T5 railway lines, connecting the M5 Motorway and Moorebank Avenue to the Hume Highway
• A new underpass at Moorebank Avenue for traffic exiting the M5 Motorway at Hume Highway
• A new shared exit with Moorebank Avenue for traffic wishing to exit the M5 Motorway at Hume Highway
• Closing the existing exit from the M5 Motorway to Hume Highway between Moorebank Avenue and Hume Highway.
Traffic entering the M5 Motorway at Moorebank Avenue has to merge with traffic exiting at Hume Highway

Benefits of the upgradeThe recommended design would:
• Provide a reliable road network to support economic and residential growth in western Sydney
• Reduce congestion by removing the traffic weave
• Improve safety and access to the Liverpool CBD
• Provide pedestrian and cyclist connection across the Georges River
• Provide efficient, reliable travel between the Moorebank Logistics Park and the state road network
• Support the M5 Motorway as the key gateway to south‑west Sydney
• Improve traffic flow across Georges River.
Selecting the recommended designThe development process to identify a recommended design included consultation with key stakeholders at a range of workshops and meetings. Key stakeholders have been involved in evaluating several design options to identify the recommended design.
Further information on the recommended design and how we developed and selected it can be found in the Options Report, which is now available for community feedback.

Moorebank Intermodal Terminal Road Access (MITRA) StrategyTransport for NSW developed the Moorebank Intermodal Terminal Road Access Program to address increasing traffic and freight movements in the Liverpool-Moorebank area over the next 10-20 years. The strategy identified road infrastructure improvements to meet the forecast growth of Liverpool CBD and regional traffic, together with construction of the Moorebank Logistics Park. The Park will generate over 6,600 heavy vehicle trips and 10,000 light vehicle trips per day.
The M5 Motorway westbound traffic upgrade is one of the road infrastructure improvements identified in the MITRA strategy.
