Badgerys Creek Road

The future Badgerys Creek Road will be a north-south corridor connecting The Northern Road to the Western Sydney International Airport boundary and Eastern Ring Road. The section between The Northern Road and Eastern Ring Road will provide bus access into Bradfield City Centre, with walking and bike riding paths on both sides.

Construction of the second runway will see the closure of Badgerys Creek Road from the Western Sydney International Airport boundary to Elizabeth Drive.

The road corridor design is 40m wide.

Wider bus lanes make it harder for pedestrians to cross. This is not in line with the road-user space allocation policy or procedure. This is a greenfield precinct, how are you making sure walking and cycling (followed by public transport) are the first choices for people moving in the area?
