From Monday 5 January 2026 to Saturday 31 January 2026, there will be temporary traffic changes on the M5 Motorway between Heathcote Road in Wattle Grove and the Hume Highway in Casula due to drainage, geotechnical and pavement investigation work along the M5 corridor.

This work is part of the early phase of the M5 Westbound upgrade, a major infrastructure project aimed at easing congestion and improving safety for motorists and freight operators.

Work will be carried out during the day from 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday, and from 8am to 1pm on Saturdays, with night work scheduled from 8pm to 5am Sunday to Friday.

Partial lane closures and traffic control will be in place for the safety of workers and road users.

Road users are advised to drive to the conditions and follow the direction of signs and traffic control.

Transport for NSW thanks the community for their patience during this time.
