Motorists in South Western Sydney will get home sooner and safer with the NSW Liberal and Nationals Government investing $200 million to extend the upgrade of Henry Lawson Drive along a critical stretch in Milperra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Treasurer Matt Kean said the upgrade to Henry Lawson Drive is part of a $1 billion WestInvest roads package, made possible by the Liberal and Nationals Government\u2019s long term economic plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is about making sure South West Sydney is thriving now and into the future, with the road infrastructure that can cater to more drivers,\u201d Mr Kean said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe upgrades to Henry Lawson Drive are a win for families who will be able to spend more time with each other, and for businesses that want to get more done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Metropolitan Roads Natalie Ward said the upgrade will ease congestion for motorists along this critical South Western Sydney road corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe know South Western Sydney is booming, that is why we are committed to providing the essential infrastructure to keep people moving on their local roads,\u201d Mrs Ward said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe upgrade of 1.8 kilometres between Auld Avenue and the M5 Motorway builds on Stage 1A which creates more capacity for vehicles traveling through Milperra and Newbridge Road.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Member for East Hills Wendy Lindsay said this is a critical project that the community has been calling for and make positive difference to travel times for thousands of drivers across South Western Sydney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is about listening to the community and delivering, travelling on Henry Lawson Drive will become an easier trip for everyone across South Western Sydney,\u201d Mrs Lindsay said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transport for NSW received more than 100 submissions during the community consultation period last year, reflecting the keen community interest in this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Review of Environmental Factors is being prepared, which will include the impacts from the finalised design features and construction of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transport for NSW will keep the community informed about next steps for the upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
