Project information
Background
Transport for NSW is upgrading 6.5 kilometres of the Mulgoa Road / Castlereagh Road corridor between Glenmore Parkway, Glenmore Park and Andrews Road, Penrith. Mulgoa Road is a main access route from Penrith to the M4 Motorway.
The corridor connects the Penrith community, including its central business district, with other parts of greater Sydney.
The upgraded road would improve road safety, reduce congestion and improve travel times.
Transport for NSW is continuing to work on developing the corridor. Future upgrades would be delivered in stages, subject to available funding and priorities.
