The M5 Motorway is a 28.8-kilometre (17.9 mi)[1] series of tolled motorways located in Sydney, New South Wales designated as route M5. It is part of the Sydney Orbital Network.
The M5 Motorway comprises two connected parts:
The M8 Motorway also runs roughly parallel to the M5 East and links it at Kingsgrove to the Rozelle Interchange along separate twin tunnels. Both the M5 East and M8 Motorway are tolled as part of WestConnex, separate to the M5 South-West tolls. This results in two separate tolls when travelling along the M5 between Moorebank and Mascot.
