The Project
The M6 Stage 1(formerly known as F6 Extension Stage 1) will deliver the missing link from Sydney’s south to the wider Sydney motorway network making journeys easier, faster and safer. It will remove more than 2,000 trucks a day from surface roads, and help return local streets to local communities.
The M6 Stage 1 includes:
- twin 4 km tunnels linking the New M5 Motorway at Arncliffe to President Avenue at Kogarah
- ramps between the main motorway tunnel and the surface intersection at President Avenue
- tunnel stubs for a future connection south to extend the M6 extension
- a new intersection at President Avenue, including the widening and raising of President Avenue at this location
- providing a new shared cycle and pedestrian pathways connecting Bestic Street, Brighton-Le- Sands
- motorway support infrastructure, including tunnel ventilation systems and the motorway control centre
