The new M12 motorway is opening this Saturday morning, which will link the M7 to the new Western Sydney International Airport opening later this year. Apparently the interchange with M7 won’t be open till later this year though.

Except neither improved travel times or eased congestion will happen thanks to induced demand.
I can’t see what the M12 would be used for currently. Demand is going to be miniscule. No wonder it’s toll free.
That said, it will be nice in the future, but I predict they will place a roll once it starts actually getting used.
Building more roads does not ever ease congestion. In the short term it moves congestion somewhere else. IN the long term it makes congestion worse by encouraging more people to drive.
Are they going to open the third lanes on the M7 and put it back up to 100 speed limit? (And then claim reduced travel times because it’s been 80 for the last years…)
Headline overcooks it.
This isn’t going to improve congestion.
