A New M5 is proposed to more than double the capacity of the M5 East Motorway corridor by providing new tunnels from St Peters to Kingsgrove. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), released on 27 November 2015, includes information on permanent infrastructure and construction activities around St Peters.
Local road upgrades and changes
Local streets around St Peters and Mascot will be improved to support the St Peters Interchange, ensuring good traffic flow and providing future opportunities for better bus connections. The main upgrades to local roads include the widening of Campbell Street and Campbell Road and sections of Euston Road, Bourke Road, Bourke Street and Gardeners Road. Campbell Road will be extended to create a new crossing over the Alexandra Canal. This will provide a new local connection between Mascot and St Peters and relieve congestion on Ricketty Street Bridge.
