The Western Sydney Airport Motorway is a planned east-west motorway along the current alignment of Elizabeth Drive between the M7 Westlink Motorway and The Northern Road. The four-lane motorway is planned to be 14 km long and to be built at a cost of $1.25 billion (with both State and Federal funding). It is aimed at providing direct access from the M7 Westlink Motorway to the new Western Sydney Airport situated at Badgerys Creek.^[2]

On 17 June 2014, as part of the State Budget, the NSW Government announced a $5.5 billion road package for Western Sydney. It includes $6 million for planning the Western Sydney Airport Motorway. The Budget is also the first time the name of the motorway was referred to.^[3]

Elizabeth Drive

Elizabeth Drive (current road) is a two lane, single carriageway road linking the Hume Highway at Liverpool, with The Northern Road at Luddenham. It is one of several key thoroughfares in Western Sydney.
