New live signage around Narellan to advise drivers of congestion and warnings in times of flood

Motorists at Smeaton Grange, Mt Annan and Harrington Park will benefit from new permanent electronic (VMS) signage to be installed at three locations on the western, northern and eastern legs of the intersection at The Northern Road, Camden Valley Way and Narellan Road.

The new signage will advise drivers of road conditions in the area and be particularly useful in relaying up to date information during times of adverse weather, such as when roads are flooded.

With the area’s population growing, a need to improve real-time information was identified after events in 2021 which saw sections of Camden Valley Way unpassable due to weather.

The new VMS will be installed at locations where drivers are given up to date information to help them make decisions on alternate routes to avoid congestion or are committed to a location adversely affected by weather.

The sites being selected will also have the benefit of being near main power supplies, meaning they are more likely to remain active even during the worst events.

With work now commencing on the new signage, the local network will be integrated into the Transport Management Centre, providing up to date real-time information.

Motorists are urged to exercise care and be aware there may be speed restrictions while work is being undertaken.

Permanent signs are expected to be installed by October 2025.
