Transport for NSW has awarded the contract for a major upgrade of Mulgoa Road in Western Sydney.

An alliance comprising Seymour Whyte Constructions and Turnbull Engineering will deliver the upgrade of Mulgoa Road between Jeanette Street, Regentville and Blaikie Road, Jamistown.

Minister for Metropolitan Roads Natalie Ward said: “Mulgoa Road is already one of Western Sydney’s key arterial routes with 52,000 car movements every day, which is why we’re making these important upgrades to ensure it keeps pace with the region’s growth.”

Member for Penrith Stuart Ayres said the upgrade would support the future economic growth of the region through an improved connection to the M4 Motorway and increased productivity.

“Mulgoa Road will be widened from two to three lanes in either direction which will ease congestion along with upgraded intersections, including at the M4 Motorway,” he said.

“I’m excited to see early works begin with the appointment of a contractor, ahead of major work next year.”

Member for Mulgoa Tanya Davies said the entire community would benefit from the project.

“In addition, the upgrade will include bus priority works around intersections, new landscaping, upgraded paths and a noise barrier,” she said.

“Three sections of Mulgoa Road are also progressing to a final design; around 850 metres between Glenmore Parkway and Jeanette Street, about 1.2 kilometres between Blaikie Road and Jamison Road and a further kilometre between Jamison and Union Roads.”

The Mulgoa Road upgrade is jointly funded by the New South Wales and Federal Governments and is part of a wider plan to improve connectivity across the Penrith area.

The project complements work the New South Wales Government has undertaken around the Jane Street intersection and the upgrades completed along The Northern Road.
