The M2 upgrade commenced mid January 2011. The M2 Upgrade will widen the existing motorway generally between Windsor Road, Baulkham Hills and Lane Cove Road, North Ryde and will deliver four new ramps to improve access to the motorway.

The upgrade is expected to be completed in the first half of 2013 and is subject to a range of Conditions of Approval.

The local community is kept informed on progress of the M2 Upgrade with community information sessions, regular newsletters, letterbox drops, advertisements as well as signage.
