April 2016 Have your say – Installation of a permanent electronic message sign on the Cumberland Highway, Wentworthville The NSW Government is funding this proposal as part of its $246 million Pinch Point Program, which aims to reduce traffic delays, manage congestion and improve travel times on Sydney’s major roads, particularly during weekday peak periods. Roads and Maritime Services is seeking your feedback by Tuesday 26 April on the proposed location of a permanent electronic message sign on the Cumberland Highway about 440 metres north of Darcy Road. The sign will provide eastbound road users with advance notice of planned and unplanned incidents on Old Windsor Road between Northmead and Glenwood, and the James Ruse Drive, Pennant Hills Road, Victoria Road and M2 Motorway corridors. We have included a map below of the sign’s proposed location and an artist’s impression. The installation work would include: • Excavating and putting in foundations • Installing the electronic sign • Trenching and installing power and telecommunications cabling • Testing the sign. We will also need to carry out early field investigation work to help us develop a final design for the proposal. This will include investigating ground conditions and locating underground utilities at the proposed site. This work will take three nights to complete between Monday 18 April and Wednesday 27 April, excluding Saturday and Anzac Day, weather permitting. Our working hours will be from 8pm to 5am. How will the work affect you? There will be some noise associated with this work but we will make every effort to minimise its impact, including finishing the noisier work by 11pm. 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 the direction of traffic controllers and signs.
