EOIs open for designing and constructing upgrades to Elizabeth Drive, Mamre Road Stage 2, and Garfield Road East in NSW.
The massive infrastructure investment, with the Australian and State Government each providing half of the committed funding, will deliver safer, faster journeys for Western Sydney communities as new employment zones drive unprecedented growth and Western Sydney International (Nancy Bird Walton) Airport nears completion.
Transport for NSW is inviting experienced contractors to register their interest in designing and constructing upgrades to Elizabeth Drive, Mamre Road Stage 2, and Garfield Road East – key arterial routes that will transform connectivity.
Elizabeth Drive: $800 million transformation
Jointly funded by the Albanese and Minns Governments—each contributing $400 million—the project aims to upgrade Elizabeth Drive from a congested, single-lane road into a modern dual carriageway. Stretching from the M7 Motorway at Cecil Hills to The Northern Road at Luddenham, the corridor currently carries over 28,000 vehicles a day and serves as a vital connection between major residential, commercial, and industrial zones.
The upgrade will deliver a two-lane dual carriageway to priority sections between Devonshire Road and Western Road, with upgraded intersections providing safer access to Kemps Creek, Badgerys Creek, Luddenham and the emerging Bradfield city.
Key sections of Elizabeth Drive, particularly between Devonshire Road and Western Road near Badgerys Creek, will be widened to two lanes in each direction. Alongside this, major intersection upgrades will improve traffic flow, enhance safety, and create better access to surrounding areas including Kemps Creek, Luddenham, and the emerging Bradfield City precinct.
The project will also deliver upgraded lighting, drainage, pedestrian footpaths, and cycling infrastructure, supporting not only vehicle traffic but also more sustainable and active transport options.
Mamre Road Stage 2: $1 billion employment corridor
Continuing the work currently underway on Stage 1, this $1 billion investment will upgrade the road from Erskine Park Road through to Kerrs Road, supporting the rapidly expanding employment zones along this critical corridor.
Project Highlights:
- Widening Mamre Road to two lanes in each direction between Kerrs Road and the M4 Motorway
- Upgrading intersections to improve traffic flow and safety
- New cycling and pedestrian paths to support active transport
- Enhanced freight access to the Western Sydney Employment Area and surrounding precincts
Investigation works are already underway between Erskine Park Road and Kerrs Road.
Garfield Road East: $440 million growth enabler
This key sub-arterial route between Piccadilly Street and Windsor Road will be converted to a two-lane dual carriageway, dramatically improving amenity for communities in the North West Growth Area as housing development accelerates.
What the Upgrade Involves:
- Widening the road to two lanes in each direction
- Improved intersections and traffic flow
- Safer access for local residents, commuters, and freight operators
- Enhanced travel times and connectivity to major hubs like Marsden Park and Riverstone
Environmental assessments for all projects will be publicly displayed later this year, with construction expected to commence following community consultation.
