Westlink M7 Motorway

Originally named the Western Sydney Orbital (WSO), the Westlink M7 is the electronic tollway in Western Sydney. Beginning at the Hume Highway, Prestons in the South, the motorway intersects the M4 at Eastern Creek (using the Lighthorse Interchange) and the M2 at West Baulkham Hills in the North. There are a total of 17 interchanges along the 40 km motorway.

Travelling from Liverpool to Baulkham Hills, the Westlink M7 bypasses up to 56 sets of traffic lights and can save up to an hour’s travel across Western Sydney. Westlink M7 is a free flow toll road where tolls will be collected electronically. This means motorists have a seamless journey with no slowing down or stopping for toll plazas or boom gates.

Current layout of the roadway consists of 2 lanes in each direction, fully divided to freeway standards with a 100 km/h speed limit.

The motorway passes through Baulkham Hills, Seven Hills, Kings Park, Quakers Hill, Rooty Hill, Eastern Creek, Cecil Park, Hoxton Park and Prestons. It connects the M5 Motorway to the M4 Motorway and M2 Motorway and has Sydney's first full freeway to freeway connections.
