Eastern Ring Road

The Eastern Ring Road will be located between The Northern Road and Elizabeth Drive. This connection will provide a north-south link, making it a major arterial road following the closure of Badgerys Creek Road.

This road corridor will focus on heavy vehicles and general traffic to service the Western Sydney International Airport Precinct as well as providing connections via Elizabeth Drive and The Northern Road to Narellan and the Great Western Highway. Access to Elizabeth Drive will also provide links to the M7 Motorway and Mamre Road including the Mamre Road Precinct industrial land.

The road corridor design is 60m wide.
