Light Horse Interchange

This required the use of balanced cantilever construction methods to position pre-cast concrete bridge segments at heights of up to 23 m (75 ft) above the active motorway.

[6] The tower, resembling a torch, serves as the centrepiece of the Light Horse Sculpture Parade, designed with the support of the Returned & Services League of Australia.

The median strip of both the M4 and M7 motorways approaching the interchange are lined with markers which represent the Light Horse on parade.

Each marker is painted red to symbolise the Flanders poppy, as well as the blood of supreme sacrifice, with white bands to represent the innocence of the soldiers leaving for war.

Wire plumages atop the markers represent the emu feathers worn in the slouch hats of members of the regiment.
