Transurban commences operation of AirportLinkM7

Earlier today Transurban Queensland, operator of the go via network commenced operation of AirportLinkM7.

Transurban Queensland finalised the acquisition of AirportLinkM7 with the receivers of BrisConnections for $1.87 billion, plus stamp duty of $108 million and transaction costs of $23 million.

Group General Manager of Transurban Queensland Wes Ballantine said the change in ownership would be seamless for motorists.

"We are delighted to commence operating AirportLink which from today completes the go via network and provides us with the opportunity to optimise the network and enhance our service for customers," Mr Ballantine said.

"There will be no change to tolls and motorists with a valid tolling account don't need to do a thing, they can continue to travel and manage their account as they do now," he said.

Traffic volumes on the AirportLinkM7 continue to grow as motorists recognise the value for money that AirportLinkM7 provides through travel time reliability and travel time savings.

"Since Legacy Way opened to traffic in mid-2015 we have seen steady traffic growth through the corridor which includes AirportLink. We expect this traffic growth to continue as motorists seek to avoid the congested alternatives.
