Major construction is set to commence next month on the $290 million Mamre Road upgrade, a key project in the New South Wales Government’s plan to connect Western Sydney’s rapidly growing job precincts to the new Western Sydney Airport.

Mamre Road is a vital commercial and logistics corridor linking the M4 Motorway with the Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport at Badgerys Creek. The upgrade will significantly enhance traffic flow, doubling the capacity of Mamre Road between the M4 Motorway and Erskine Park Road.

Key features of the project include widening Mamre Road to a four-lane divided road with provisions for future expansion, upgrading major intersections, and improving drainage, flooding infrastructure, and roadside amenities. The works will also include the construction of new shared paths, noise walls, and street lighting, ensuring a safer and more efficient route for all road users.

Seymour Whyte has been appointed to carry out the works, which will include the construction of two bridge-sized culverts to enhance drainage. With $500 million allocated in the 2024-25 State Budget for Stage 2 of the upgrade, the total Federal-State funding for Mamre Road now stands at $1 billion.

This project is not only creating jobs today but also investing in the future by bringing road infrastructure up to the standard required by the commercial developments in the area. The Mamre Road upgrade will play a critical role in supporting the economic growth of Western Sydney, connecting key industrial hubs, and preparing for the influx of traffic from the new Western Sydney Airport.
