A six point plan to alleviate the traffic congestion.
There is massive residential growth underway in Smeaton Grange, Oran Park, Gregory Hills and
surrounding areas, all of which are at the other end of Narellan Road to Campbelltown, the Macarthur Regional Centre.
With this in mind, resolving the already existing
Narellan Road gridlock clearly needs a combination of far more than just one
solution, it needs several:
- The need to widen it is obvious.
- A constant 80 km/hr speed limit is required end to
end.
- Construction of the proposed road from Spring
Farm to Menangle Park .
- Construction of a link between Badgally Road and
Camden Valley Way.
- Direct UWS access to and from the
freeway.
- Construction of southern freeway access ramps at
the Leumeah/Woodbine junction.
The reason why the Leumeah junction only had
northern ramps was to save money forty years ago when the freeway was constructed - but Campbelltown has
quadrupled since then. All traffic from the entire northern suburbs of Campbelltown wishing to head south on the freeway is forced
to head for Narellan Road by crawling through Campbelltown and adding to the congestion on Blaxland Road and
Narellan Road
All of the above solutions are needed quickly to
resolve the Narellan Road disaster.
