I can’t imaging what overseas tourists think coming to Australia, renting a motor home and driving on this horrible section of our main highway ( an embarrassment )
Come on state and federal governments pull your finger out and get this damn 20 km section ripped up and replaced ASAP
It is being replaced right now. The program to add lanes all the way to Morisset is well underway. Work is complete to just past the Doylson exit south of Morisset. This will make the M1 three lanes in both directions to Sydney. They are using a recycling build technique, where these big machines come through and break up the old cracked concrete roadway and turn it into gravel road base which is used to create the new road. The completed sections are bitumen on top of a deep road base and very smooth. It's just a shame it is taking so long, but understandable because they have to destroy the old lanes to build the new ones.
And once the NorthConnect tunnel opens, my trip from Morisset to Sydney will be a dream, hopefully.
