According to transport for the most recent update of the new South Wales, the central and western parts of the 16 -kilometer M12 should be completed by the middle of this year, while the eastern part will end at the beginning of next year before the airport opening at the end of 2026.
Transport officials referred to an estimate of the budget two weeks ago that the M12 would be opened in a “staged” way, probably before next year. They said the announcements on the “exact times” would be made shortly.
