en.Wedoany.com Reported - The New South Wales Government and the Federal Government are advancing planning for the Camden Bypass extension project, which aims to improve traffic connections and ease congestion in southwestern Sydney. The extension will construct a new interchange connecting the Camden Bypass with Camden Valley Way, allowing motorists to bypass two major intersections around the Narellan town centre and avoid congestion hotspots.
These works are part of the AU$65 million South West Sydney Roads Planning project. The project focuses on seven key transport corridors in the Greater Macarthur and South West Growth Areas, with planning including upgrades to the Hume Motorway, Cowpasture Road, Camden Valley Way, Campbelltown Road, and Menangle Road, as well as the future Jessie Street extension and Appin Town Centre Bypass.
NSW Acting Minister for Roads John Graham said the investment is aimed at supporting one of the fastest-growing regions in the country. He said Western Sydney is growing rapidly, and communities in the southwest need infrastructure that can keep pace with development. The extension of the Camden Bypass will help motorists avoid key congestion points around Narellan, improving travel times across the region.
Currently, Transport for NSW is progressing planning work, with engineering firm GHD appointed to undertake concept design and environmental assessments for the widening of two sections of Camden Valley Way. The proposed widening covers a 3.5-kilometre section between the M5/M7 interchange and Cowpasture Road, and a 1.8-kilometre section between Oran Park and Anderson Road.
Member for Camden Sally Quinnell noted that as the area's population accelerates, traffic congestion remains a key concern for local residents. She said that as the region continues to develop, residents are spending more and more time in traffic, and projects like the Camden Bypass extension are vital for improving daily commutes. Communities in southwestern Sydney need infrastructure delivered alongside growth, not as an afterthought.
The NSW Government stated that this project is part of its broader AU$7.4 billion Western Sydney roads investment, focused on improving access, easing congestion, and supporting future development. Transport for NSW indicated that the community will be kept informed of progress as planning work advances.
