Project information
Each day nearly 60,000 vehicles travel through the Pennant Hills Road and North Rocks Road intersection. A high traffic area motorists experience congestion, slow travel times and delays when travelling through the intersection of Pennant Hills Roads and North Rocks Road.
Our proposal will increase the capacity of the Pennant Hills Road and North Rocks Road intersection by widening the road, reducing queue lengths and improving safety for all road users.
Our proposal includes:
- widening Pennant Hills Road between Woodstock Road and Murray Farm Road, adding an extra through lane in each direction
- widening North Rocks Road to install a second right turn lane from North Rocks Road onto Pennant Hills Road heading south
- removing the left turn slip lane from Pennant Hills Road onto North Rocks Road west, to provide three northbound lanes
- installing a new left turn slip lane from Pennant Hills Road to North Rocks Road heading east
- adding an additional right turn lane for road users travelling eastbound on North Rocks Road and turning right into Pennant Hills Road
- installing a raised median in the centre of Pennant Hills Road between Woodstock Road and Murray Farm Road
- installing a new pedestrian crossing on the southern side of Pennant Hills Road and North Rocks intersection
- resurfacing the road and changing signage
- adjusting utilities, street lighting and drainage.
