New M5 tunnels under construction
The M5 Motorway is a 30-kilometre-long (19 mi) motorway located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia that is designated with the M5 route and forms part of the Sydney Orbital Network. The M5 route number comprises two separate parts, separately owned and operated.
The original section that opened in 1992 is titled M5 South-West Motorway and is a toll road operated by Interlink Roads. Its southwestern terminus is south of an interchange near Prestons where the M5 meets the Westlink M7 and the M31 Hume Motorway. The M5 South-West Motorway eastern terminus is located 20 kilometres (12 mi) to the east at an exit junction with King Georges Road at Beverly Hills.
The M5 continues east as the 10-kilometre-long (6.2 mi) and untolled NSW Government-owned M5 East Motorway that includes substantial tunnels, opened in 2001 to connect with General Holmes Drive (M1) at Kyeemagh.
A third section of the motorway, referred to as the New M5, is currently under construction, having started in mid 2016, with completion expected in early 2020. This segment, part of the WestConnex project will link to an upgraded King Georges Road interchange on the existing M5 East at Beverly Hills and continue along a separate 11 km (6.8 mi) route via twin tunnels to St Peters.
