M4 Smart Motorway Project Update July 2019

The NSW Government is building the M4 Smart Motorway project. The first of its kind in NSW, the project will introduce intelligent technology to the M4 Motorway between Mulgoa Road, Penrith and Pitt Street, Mays Hill, to:

• provide safer, smoother, faster journeys • use real time information to monitor and manage traffic flow and incidents • use digital signs to update motorists of conditions ahead.

There are still sections of the M4 where reduced speed limits are in place while construction continues.

There is construction happening all along the project length, even though some of our work is not always visible from the road. Speed limits and safety barriers along the M4 keep the road safe for both motorists and workers.

When the project is finished, customers will experience reduced travel times on the M4 Smart Motorway. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience while we ensure the safety of our workers and motorists.

Thank you for your patience!
