Richmond Road

Latest News - May 2012

In November 2011 Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) released the proposed concept design and review of environmental factors (REF) for the Richmond Road upgrade between Bells Creek, Colebee and Vine Street West, Marsden Park.
 
RMS has considered all community feedback received during the REF display period. A Submissions Report summarising the issues raised in all submissions and providing responses to each issue is now available from the project documents page.

Background

The Richmond Road corridor is a 23.5 kilometre route linking Blacktown and Richmond. It functions as an arterial road linking major urban and rural areas. Richmond Road also passes through the North West Growth Centre, a 10,000 hectare region identified by the NSW Government for new homes and employment areas to accommodate some 200,000 people over the next 25 to 30 years.

Roads and Maritime Services has improved key intersections along Richmond Road, including:

  • Richmond Road and St Marys Road completed 1 May 2009.
  • Richmond Road and the intersections of Knox Road and Quakers Hill Parkway completed 29 June 2009.

Investigations are currently underway for improvements to:
