The Northern Road upgradeBetween Mersey Road, Bringelly and Glenmore Parkway, Glenmore ParkProject updateRoads and Maritime Services | August 2019

The Australian and NSW governments are upgrading The Northern Road as a part of the $4.1 billion Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan to improve safety, increase road capacity and reduce travel times and congestion in the future. The Northern Road upgrade between Mersey Road and Glenmore Parkway covers about 16 kilometres and will provide access to Western Sydney International Airport at Badgerys Creek and the growth areas of South West and Western Sydney.

The project is being constructed in three stages. The project was fully approved in June 2018 and Roads and Maritime Services has now awarded major construction contracts for all three stages.

Roads and Maritime awarded CPB Contractors Pty Ltd the contract to construct this section in March 2019.

A modification to the design for this section was proposed in September 2018. The modification was for the replacement of twin bridges over Adams Road with a set of traffic lights. Pedestrian and cyclist crossings were also included at the lights improving safety for road users.

Consultation took place with the community and a modification approval request was lodged with the Department of Planning and Environment in December 2018.

Planning approval for the modification was received in June 2019.

Key features

• Constructing around 2 kilometres of a new four lane divided road with median diverting the existing The Northern Road around Luddenham town centre.

• Upgrade around 2 kilometres of The Northern Road between Elizabeth Drive and Littlefields Road to a four-lane divided road with median.

• Realignment/upgrade of around 1.8 kilometres of Elizabeth Drive.
