The proposed Dunheved Road Upgrade is a step closer, with the preliminary works of the Design & Construct contract expected to be awarded in mid-2025 and on-site mobilisation to commence in late 2025.

The proposed scope of the upgrade includes widening the 4.2-kilometre stretch between Richmond Road and the Werrington Road/Christie Street roundabout from two lanes to four, with a central median to improve safety and traffic flow.

Intersections are also proposed to be upgraded, included three new sets of traffic lights, and there will be improved options for walking and cycling, including a new shared pathway, footpaths, and safer pedestrian crossings.

This project is funded by the Australian Government's Infrastructure Investment Program.

Public Exhibition

Minor design changes are proposed in an Addendum REF for the Dunheved Road Upgrade. Penrith City Council invited the community to provide feedback on these changes during the public exhibition from 18 November to 16 December 2024.

The proposed modifications to the design will further improve safety, amenity and connectivity and reduce the potential operational noise impacts for surrounding residents.

View the Addendum REF. The original REF which was exhibited for feedback in 2022 can be found in the document library on this web page.
