5 September 2019 Moorebank Intermodal Terminal Road Access (MITRA) Strategy Transport for NSW developed the Moorebank Intermodal Terminal Road Access Program to address increasing traffic and freight movements in the Liverpool-Moorebank area over the next 10-20 years. The strategy identified road infrastructure improvements to meet the forecast growth of Liverpool CBD and regional traffic, together with construction of the Moorebank Logistics Park. The Park will generate over 6,600 heavy vehicle trips and 10,000 light vehicle trips per day.

The M5 Motorway westbound traffic upgrade is one of the road infrastructure improvements identified in the MITRA strategy.
