With the concrete laid and shovels put away, motorists are enjoying a smoother and safer journey through the intersections of Narellan and Appin Roads at Campbelltown.
A Roads and Maritime Services spokesperson said the NSW Government has delivered these improvements as part of its program to reduce congestion and improve travel times on Sydney’s busiest road corridors.
“Crews started improvement work at these intersections in April last year to widen the road as well as provide new turning lanes and a signalised pedestrian crossing,” the spokesperson said.
“Thousands of vehicles, including a high number of heavy vehicles, travel through this busy intersection each day so it was essential to deliver this work as quickly as possible to improve efficiency and congestion.”
The spokesperson said work was carried out to widen the intersection to provide an additional dedicated right turn lane on Narellan Road and convert the existing shared right and through lane on Narellan Road to a dedicated through lane.
“Crews also worked hard to upgrade the existing traffic lights and relocate traffic islands and the median on Narellan Road to accommodate the new lanes,” the spokesperson said.
“There are now safer crossing opportunities, with a new signalised pedestrian crossing provided across Appin Road.”
The spokesperson said during the project more than 1400 tons of asphalt was used to deliver the improvements.
“Narellan and Appin Roads are main routes which link South West Sydney with southern NSW and provide direct access to the Hume Motorway and Campbelltown Road,” the spokesperson said.
“This important intersection upgrade has increased capacity for motorists as well as improved traffic flow, travel times and safety for all road users, particularly during peak times.
“Crews worked a tremendous amount of hours to complete these improvements which will now provide motorists and pedestrians with safer and more reliable journeys through this busy intersection.
“The community and motorists are thanked for their patience while work was carried out.”
