The Northern Road upgradeNow open from The Old Northern Road to Peter Brock DriveRoads and Maritime Services | July 2018
The first stage of the $1.6 billion The Northern Road upgrade is now open, with 3.3 kilometres of new dual carriageway completed between The Old Northern Road, Narellan, and Peter Brock Drive, Oran Park.The completed section was officially opened in April by the Federal Minister for Urban Infrastructure and Cities, Paul Fletcher, the NSW Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight, Melinda Pavey, and the Member for Camden, Chris Patterson.
Safer, more reliable journeysMore than 15,000 motorists use this section of The Northern Road every day. This upgrade ensures that there’s sufficient capacity on this part of The Northern Road to meet the needs of the new residents and businesses expected to move to the area in the years ahead.
The new landscaped median, turning lanes and traffic lights will improve safety for road users.
At the same time, dedicated bus lanes and a three‑metre‑wide shared path will provide safer and more reliable journeys for both cyclists and public transport customers.
Key features• Three lanes in each direction – two for general
traffic plus a kerbside bus lane
• Upgraded intersections at Fairwater Drive, Hillside Drive and Cobbity Road, with traffic lights and dedicated turning lanes
• An increased 80 km/h speed limit
• A new off‑road shared pedestrian and cycle path.
Roads and Maritime Services would like to thank road users and the Narellan, Harrington Park and Oran Park communities for their patience as we delivered this vital upgrade.
Two new bridges were built over Narellan Creek for northbound and southbound traffic.

What happens next?We are continuing work on installing street lighting and noise walls along this section of the road. This work is due for completion in early 2019.
Upgrade work also continues on other sections of The Northern Road between Oran Park and South Penrith For more information, visit www.rms.nsw.gov.au/thenorthernroad.
Part of a wider planThe Australian and NSW governments are funding the Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan, a $3.6 billion road investment program delivering new and upgraded roads to support integrated transport in the region, and capitalise on the economic benefits of the Western Sydney Airport.
The Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan includes The Northern Road as well as:
• Werrington Arterial Road
• Bringelly Road upgrade
• M12 Motorway
• Glenbrook intersection upgrade
• Local Roads Package.
Completion of The Northern Road between The Old Northern Road and Peter Brock Drive and Werrington Arterial Road means that 5.3 kilometres of new and upgraded roads have now been delivered for Western Sydney road users.
