The M5/A5 / Metroad 5 is a major road corridor in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, linking the western and southern suburbs from Yamanto and Springfield through Indooroopilly, Toowong, and the northern suburbs to Kedron and the Inner City Bypass. It functions as Brisbane’s primary western bypass of the central business district and incorporates several major freeways and arterial streets.

From south to north:

• Centenary Highway: connects Yamanto to Springfield.
• Centenary Motorway: from Springfield through Jindalee, Darra, and Indooroopilly to the Western Freeway.
• Western Freeway: from Moggill Road (Indooroopilly) to Milton Road (Toowong).
• Legacy Way: toll tunnel connecting Mount Coot-tha to the Inner City Bypass.
• Suburban arterial route via Mount Coot-tha Road, Frederick Street, Rouen Road, Boundary Road, Macgregor Terrace, Jubilee Terrace, Stewart Road, Wardell Street, and Stafford Road through Toowong, Bardon, Ashgrove, Everton Park, Stafford, and Kedron.

This section diverges from the motorway route and serves as a surface arterial continuation of the former Metroad 5 corridor.

The route was designated Metroad 5 in 1995 as part of Brisbane’s Metroad system to mark major suburban arterials.^[1] Following Queensland’s adoption of alphanumeric route numbering in the 2000s, the southern motorway sections were redesignated as M5 and A5, while some inner sections retained legacy Metroad 5 signage. The opening of the Legacy Way tunnel in June 2015 provided a direct tolled link between the Western Freeway and the Inner City Bypass, completing the modern motorway-standard bypass route.

The component roads include the following major junctions:

• Ipswich Motorway (M2) – Darra
• Logan Motorway (M2/M4) – near Springfield
• Moggill Road – Indooroopilly
• Milton Road – Toowong
• Inner City Bypass – Kelvin Grove / Kedron

(See detailed junction tables in the respective road articles.)
