Project information
The NSW Government is funding this project as part of its $300 million Urban Roads Pinch Point Program, which aims to reduce congestion and improve travel time on Sydney’s busiest corridors.
Residents from Hinchinbrook and surrounding suburbs often experience congestion and long wait times at the Hoxton Park Road and Whitford Road intersection. Road users accessing the M7 or travelling west along Hoxton Park Road also experience delays because of congestion at this intersection.
To address this, Roads and Maritime is widening Hoxton Park Road and Whitford Road to:
- create a second dedicated right turn lane from Hoxton Park Road onto Whitford Road improving traffic flow for local residents
- allow turning to traffic to wait in dedicate lanes, rather than queuing along Hoxton Park Road, enabling westbound motorists to freely travel through the intersection.
With the Liverpool City Council we will be creating a second dedicated right turn lane from Whitford Road onto Hoxton Park Road westbound.
The key benefits to the community include:
- Improving traffic flow from Liverpool through the intersection by separating northbound motorists
- Lowering travel times to connect to the M7 Motorway
- Easing congestion for local residents needing to access Hoxton Park Road eastbound and westbound.
In December 2017 Roads and Maritime Services invited feedback on proposed intersection improvements at Hoxton Park Road and Whitford Road, Hinchinbrook.
After considering all responses, we have decided not to change the proposed design.
We will be updating you on this project as work progresses, including informing you in advance about future work schedules and night work.
