Spring in the step of Macarthur region as Spring Farm Parkway Stage 1 opens

After two years of construction, the new connection between Menangle Road, the Hume Motorway and Menangle Park was officially opened on Wednesday before first traffic in the early hours of Thursday.

The new four-lane divided road forms part of a vital east west link that will support future residential growth in the Macarthur region, which grew by more than 25% between 2016 and 2021.

Spring Farm Parkway Stage 1 opens up easier access to Greater Sydney through an interchange with the Hume Motorway, meaning motorists heading north bound from Campbelltown and Menangle Park no longer have to navigate local streets, saving 15 minutes in travel time.

Stage 1 has been delivered on time and on budget by Transport for NSW and its delivery partner, Georgiou Group, and construction involved laying more than 24 bridge girders, 4.5 kilometres of guard rails and 17,000 cubic metres of asphalt.

A shared path on the southern side of Spring Farm Parkway provides a safe route for pedestrians and bike riders, including students heading to and from Broughton Anglican College on Menangle Road. 

More than 12,500 trees and shrubs have been planted along the roadside.

As Stage 1 opens to motorists, the NSW Government is continuing early design work on Stage 2, which will connect to Liz Kernohan Drive and onto the Camden Bypass, giving motorists a direct line from Campbelltown to Camden.
