Work Starting on Stage 1 of the M4 Smart Motorway Project from Monday 6 November 2017 October 2017 Work starting on Stage 1 of the M4 Smart Motorway Project from Monday 6 November 2017 The NSW Government is funding this project to introduce a smarter way of travelling the M4 Motorway, which will provide you a more consistent and reliable journey. Roads and Maritime Services is starting work on Stage 1 of the M4 Smart Motorway project, between Mamre Road, St Marys and Reservoir Road, Eastern Creek. You will notice the following activities happening along the M4 Motorway from Monday 6 November: Establishing temporary site compounds and storage areas Installing temporary traffic signs and safety barriers Geotechnical, survey and utility investigations Relocating drainage, water, electricity and power communications cables Setting up water basins, dust monitors and sediment fencing to reduce environmental impacts Removing some vegetation within the work area. Our work schedule Our standard work hours will be between 7am and 6pm from Monday to Friday and between 8am and 1pm on Saturday, excluding public holidays, weather permitting. We will also be working at night in some areas. Our night work hours will be between 6pm and 7am from Sunday to Friday. Stage 1 work is expected to be complete by mid 2019. How will the work affect you? Our work may be noisy at times but every effort will be made to minimise these impacts. Nearby residents will be notified in advance of any activities planned at night. Cyclists detour A temporary detour for cyclists will be in place between the Prospect Highway, Prospect, and Mamre Road, St Marys. There will be signs to let you know of this change and they will remain in place until Stage 1 work is complete in mid 2019. Cyclists travelling east on the M4 Motorway will exit at Mamre Road to access the Great Western Highway, and return to the M4 at the Prospect Highway. Page 1 Cyclists travelling west will exit at the Prospect Highway, and enter the Great Western Highway via the on-ramp towards Penrith, and return to the M4 at Mamre Road. Visit our website to download the detour map: rms.nsw.gov.au/m4smartmotorway. Traffic changes There will be some temporary traffic changes to ensure the work zone is safe. Lane closures will be in place and may affect travel times. Please keep to speed limits and follow signs and traffic controllers’ directions.

In the first, report which focussed on road traffic volumes, an error was made. The location points of road traffic counting stations were incorrect. Although this error does not affect the general conclusions, details of some of the analysis presented in this version are different to that presented in the original papers listed above. Some data additions have also been made, and so the accompanying commentary has been expanded.

  • Sydney's M4 Motorway
    EXCLUSIVE ONLINE ARTICLE www.bpmmagazine.com Case Study: Sydney’s M4 Motorway From: RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc., Infrastructure Investment Group t midnight on February 15, 2010, with little coverage from the industry or media, a landmark infrastruc- ture transaction reached completion. On that day, a 20-year concession on the M4 Western Motor- A way, a major highway in the State of New South Wales (NSW), Australia reached its close and tolling ceased. Infrastructure investors may find the lack of interest disappointing, but not surprising. Infrastructure assets by nature are essential assets that are mostly taken for granted in peoples day-to-day lives. The M4 concession agreement proved to be a deal that benefited the government, investors, and users alike. While not all of the financial returns to investors are publicly available, the underlying consistency of demand and cash flows plus the relative ease with which the concession changed hands on a number of oc- casions attests to the underlying investment appeal of infrastructure assets. Ultimately, the M4 concession became the template for future transport infrastructure projects in the State of NSW. Furthermore, it continues to provide a number of interesting insights for infrastructure investors, such as: ❖ the role concessions can play in supporting a government’s budgetary needs ❖ the efficiencies offered by concession agreements and similar structures to investors and users ❖ the ability of infrastructure assets to meet a range of investors’ risk appetites History & Scope of Project The M4 Western Motorway is a 26-mile road running east to west on the outskirts of Sydney.

  • Alpha Numeric Route Numbering
    March 2014 Easier navigation for travellers in NSW Implementing a new alpha-numeric road numbering system Roads and Maritime Services has now completed an update of road signs in New South Wales as part of the introduction of the new alpha-numeric road numbering system. Introducing the system across the state has brought NSW into line with other State and Territories who are already using the nationally-agreed system. Stages of implementation Physical implementation of the new system started in May 2013. Work occurred in three stages and was completed in early December 2013: 1. May - July 2013: Routes where the number is changing (e.g. from route 18 to B72) 2. August – November 2013: Motorways and the majority of A routes 3. Nov – Dec 2013: All remaining A and B routes, and decommissioned routes. Final checking of routes and some minor modification works took place up to the end of March 2014. Renamed roads Some important routes have been renamed as motorways, as published in the Government Gazette on 1 February 2013: • M1 Pacific Motorway – previously known as the F3 - Sydney to Newcastle Expressway from the Pacific Highway at Wahroonga to John Renshaw Drive at Beresfield. • M1 Pacific Motorway – part of the former Pacific Highway from Brunswick Heads to the Queensland Border. • M1 Princes Motorway - previously known as the F6 Southern Freeway from Princes Highway at Waterfall to Mount Ousley Road to the Illawarra Highway at Yallah. • M4 Western Motorway – formerly known as the F4 Western Freeway from Concord Road (Great Western Highway) at Strathfield to Great Western Highway at Lapstone.

  • Northconnex Submission to NSW Department of Planning & Environment
    NorthConnex submission to NSW Department of Planning & Environment Application number SSI 13_6136 September 2014 Introduction The National Roads & Motorists Association (NRMA) comprises more than 2.4 million Members across New South Wales (NSW) and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). For more than 90 years, NRMA has represented the interests of motorists in relation to traffic management and road safety. NRMA strongly supports completing the missing links in Sydney’s motorways to create a connected and functional road network. NorthConnex will be a major addition to this network, filling the missing motorway link between the M1 (F3) and M2 motorways. By improving travel times, travel time reliability, and road safety it will make a very positive difference to the way people move around. Lessons have clearly been learnt in the design of NorthConnex from previous tunnel projects. The main tunnel is proposed to be constructed with three lanes (one of which will be closed off initially to form a breakdown lane) instead of the usual two lanes, the maximum vertical uphill and downhill grades within the main tunnels will be around 4%, and each of the tunnels will have higher ceiling heights than other Sydney road tunnels. These elements will all contribute to keeping traffic moving. The NorthConnex tunnel will also avoid many of the environmental issues that a high level bridge would have posed, but obviously at 9km in length (over twice the length of Sydney’s existing longest tunnel – the M5 East), the tunnel will be costly to build and
