More than 30,000 Western Sydney motorists and freight operators who use Windsor Road each day are set to benefit with the NSW Government committing $190 million for the upgrade at Rouse Hill.
“This investment is part of our plan to provide relief now and build for the future, easing pressure on families where we can while delivering the infrastructure growing communities will need for decades to come,” a TfNSW spokesperson says.
“This funding comes after more than a decade of underinvestment which left families in North West Sydney without the infrastructure and essential services needed to support these growing communities.
“The Windsor Road upgrade will ease traffic pressure on local roads, improve safety and ensure quicker and more reliable journeys for local families, workers and businesses. And it will deliver access to the new Rouse Hill Hospital.”
The new hospital and road upgrade will work together to ensure local families can access world-class healthcare closer to home.
The NSW Government’s contribution to the Windsor Road upgrade totals $200 million, matching the Federal Government’s $200 million commitment to the $400 million project.
It will improve road capacity, traffic flow, safety and reduce congestion, while improving public transport connections in and around North West Sydney. This will be achieved through:
- Intersection improvements including at Windsor Road and Commercial Road
- Widening Windsor Road between Mile End Road and Commercial Road to three lanes plus a bus lane in each direction
- A new shared path along the eastern side of Windsor Road
- New and upgraded bus infrastructure including dedicated bus lanes connecting the T way to Mile End Road.
This investment builds on more than $7.4 billion the NSW Government has funded for Western Sydney roads since 2023, with major upgrades being delivered to Richmond Road, Fifteenth Avenue and Elizabeth Drive.
