Work is soon to begin on the M7 Motorway in New South Wales at Eastern Creek, to widen the approaches to the Light Horse Interchange.
The upgrade comes as part of the M7-M12 Intergration Project and is expected to be completed in 2026.
The widening will see an additional north and south bound lane added to the M7 Motorway between the M5, Prestons and Richmond Road, Glendenning/Oakhurst to reduce congestion and improve travel times along the motorway.
To enable the work, a number of red markers that form part of the Australian Light Horse Sculpture Parade located at the interchange with the M4 Motorway and Wallgrove Road will need to be temporarily removed and safely stored.
Temporary removal of the red markers has been planned in consultation with Veteran Groups.
Where possible, work will be scheduled at nighttime to minimise disruption to motorists.
The sculpture poles will be returned to the sculpture upon completion.
Due to the upgrade, the M7 Motorway median will be narrowed, and every attempt will be made to return the sculpture poles to as close to their original position as possible.
The work will entail some tree removal before the area is landscaped on completion of work in 2026.
