The key benefits to the community include:

• improved access to the Western Sydney Airport site at Badgerys Creek, Leppington Railway Station, the new Leppington Town Centre and the M5 and M7 motorways
• increased road capacity
• improved safety for motorists
• better bus priority and facilities
• more reliable travel times
• improved access and safety for pedestrians and cyclists through an off-road shared path

The key features of Stage 1 include:

• four lanes in each direction between Camden Valley Way and King Street. East of the Upper Canal bridge to Eastwood Road will be a six lane divided road
• 80 kilometres per hour speed limit and two metre wide shoulders
• three metre wide off-road shared pedestrian and cyclist path
• bus priority at traffic lights and indented bus bays
• extending the current noise wall on Cowpasture Road, 240 metres along Camden Valley Way.
