Motorway extension near Ripley, Queensland

The M5 (Centenary Motorway) is a 43-kilometre (27 mi) motorway in the western suburbs of Brisbane, Australia.

It starts as a two-lane arterial road at Yamanto, travelling to Springfield, where it becomes a two-lane highway and travels across the M2 Logan Motorway at Ellen Grove (formerly Metroad 4 / M4) and ends at Kenmore where it changes its name to the M5 Western Freeway. It features eight interchanges, the major ones being with the M7 Ipswich Motorway (formerly Metroad 2 / M2) in Darra and another at Sinnamon Park. The Centenary Freeway links traffic from the west to the north of Brisbane.

Recent Motorway designation

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 M7/M5 Interchange. This will of course change when the M7/M5 Interchange is upgraded.

The M5 has been identified to receive a major upgrade in the South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan and Program. Additional lanes will be added to accommodate Transit Lanes.
