The M5 Centenary Motorway is a nine kilometre Motorway in the western suburbs of Brisbane, Australia.
It starts at Springfield as a two-lane highway and travels across the M4 Logan Motorway at Ellen Grove and ends at Kenmore where it changes its name to the M5 Western Freeway. It features eight interchanges, the major ones being with the M2 Ipswich Motorway in Darra and another at Sinnamon Park. The Centenary Freeway links traffic from the west to the north of Brisbane.
Recent Motorway Designation
The Centenary Highway is in the process of officially becoming a Motorway. Almost the entire length is of road is of freeway/Motorway standard and has now been designated as such. Those sections not of freeway standard are being upgraded and re-designated over time. As of October 2006 the blue hexagonal Metroad 5 signage is getting progressively replaced with M5 signage. Officially the M5 starts/ends at the Sumner Road Interchange and not at the Ipswich Motorway/M5 Interchange. This will of course change when the Ipswich Motorway/M5 Interchange is upgraded.
The M5 has been identified to receive a major upgrade in the SEQ Infrastructure Plan. Additional lanes will be added to accommodate Transit Lanes.
