Airport North precinct road upgradeMay 2016

The NSW Government is planning to upgrade roads north of Sydney’s Kingsford Smith Airport to improve traffic flow and connections to the airport and Port Botany.

Sydney Airport and Port Botany are two of Australia’s most important international gateways. The roads around the airport and Port Botany are becoming increasingly congested and need to be upgraded.

Roads and Maritime Services is planning to upgrade roads north of Sydney Airport to improve traffic flow and connections to the airport and Port Botany. This includes widening O’Riordan Street to three lanes in each direction between Bourke Road and Robey Street.

Roads and Maritime has prepared a Review of Environmental Factors to examine the potential impacts of the Airport North Precinct proposal and outline measures to reduce and manage these impacts. The Review of Environmental Factors and concept design for the proposal are on display for community and stakeholder feedback from Monday 23 May to Monday 13 June.

During the display period, printed copies of the Review of Environmental Factors will be available to view in two locations and we will hold two community information sessions. The times and locations are listed in this project update.

Key features and benefitsThe key features of the Airport North precinct proposal include:

• Converting the southern sections of Robey Street and O’Riordan Street into one‑way roads

• Widening O’Riordan Street to provide six through lanes between Bourke Road and Robey Street

• Reconfiguring the existing traffic lights on O’Riordan Street between Qantas Drive and Bourke Road

• Upgrading the footpath on the eastern side of O’Riordan Street.

The proposal would help increase traffic capacity and reduce congestion along O’Riordan Street and improve access to Sydney Airport domestic terminals.

Sydney Airport precinct upgradesThe Airport North precinct proposal is part of a suite of upgrades to improve traffic flow around Sydney Airport.

• Airport West: Widening Marsh Street, Arncliffe to three lanes in each direction between Giovanni Brunetti Bridge and the M5 interchange. Work started earlier this year and is expected to be completed by late 2017

• Airport East: Widening Joyce Drive and General Holmes Drive between O’Riordan Street and Mill Pond Drive and replacing the General Holmes Drive rail level crossing with a road underpass that links General Holmes Drive, Botany Road and Wentworth Avenue. Work started in late 2015 and will be completed by mid‑2018.
