M1 Motorway (Enderron)

The M1 Motorway, also known as the Federal Motorway on some sections, is a motorway in the Metro Central Region of Enderron. It runs in a rough horseshoe from Wentworth to Port William via the coast of Plymouth Prefecture and comprises two sections – the main route between Wentworth and Hunter Bay, and a short spur near Port William. The motorway runs parallel to the A1 for almost its entire route.

The M1 was the first motorway-grade road in Enderron when an initial series of sections between Wentworth and New Plymouth was completed and opened in January 1960. New Plymouth has since been bypassed with the remaining part of the motorway being redesignated as the M11 Motorway in 1986. A complete motorway-grade road from Wentworth and New Plymouth was completed in 1971 following the opening of the Hacking Crossing and Scott Island Link. The M1 was extended to the southwest in the late 20th century, reaching Victoria in 1989 and Hunter Bay in 1996. In preparation for a further extension to Port William, parts of the A1 to the west of Hunter Bay and west of Port William were upgraded to motorway standard throughout the 2000s, but no such extension has been built. Thus, today the M1 has a wide gap between Hunter Bay and Port William, with the main route through the corridor being the non-motorway grade A1. The federal government has plans to fill the gap by 2030.
