SEVENTEEN million
dollars is to be
poured into widening
Delhi Road in North
Ryde.
The State Government
cash injection
was announced last
Thursday by Lane Cove
MP Anthony Roberts
who said the widening
and upgrade of Delhi
Road will be from the
Hills M2 motorway to
the Lane Cove National
Park and will reduce
travel times.
The works will be undertaken
next year by
Landcom to coincide
with the first arrival of
5,000 new residents at
Landcom’s Lachlan’s
Line Priority Precinct
development
“The sustainable development
of a new
mixed-use precinct like
Lachlan’s Line requires
upgrades to local infrastructure,
including
roads, to support
the growth of this new
community,” Mr Roberts
said.
“Landcom has already
commenced
these works and is on
target to deliver this
important infrastructure
upgrade prior to
the first residents moving
into the Lachlan’s
Line development.”
Mr Roberts conceded
that the works could
cause traffic delays.
“I thank road users
in advance for their
patience as we undertake
these important
works,” he said.

have been awarded the
construction contract
following a government
tender process.
The road project was
recently prioritised by
the NSW Department
of Planning and Environment,
City of Ryde
Council and Roads
and Maritime Services.
“The improvements
are designed to help
ease traffic congestion
in the area and
will include the construction
of an additional
eastbound lane,
undergrounding of
the existing overhead
electrical and telecommunication
lines, repositioning
of bus stops,
modifications to associated
traffic signals,
new footpaths, landscaping,
early detector
loops and line marking
to improve traffic flow”
Mr Roberts added.
The works are scheduled
to begin shortly in
order for completion
to be achieved in mid-
2018, prior to Transport
for NSW’s temporary
closure of the
Epping to Chatswood
rail line.
The construction
zones will primarily affect
Delhi Road’s eastbound
lanes and road
users can expect disruptions
including temporary
lane modifications,
increased truck
movements, changes
to alignment of footpaths,
driveways and
bus stop locations.
From Anthony Roberts
MP, Member for Lane
Cove, and all my family,
wishing everyone a
Merry

a happy New
year
