Spring Farm Parkway Stage 1 reaches two-thirds completion

A major milestone has been reached on the Spring Farm Parkway Stage 1, with two-thirds of construction complete and the main bridge being prepared to be placed across the Hume Motorway later this year.

The $206 million project is on budget and will feature northbound on and off ramps to link into new and existing communities south of Campbelltown and Narellan.

Spring Farm Parkway is a key east-west link that will service existing and future residential land releases, including Spring Farm, Elderslie, and Menangle Park.

More than 1250 cubic metres of concrete has been poured, along with 290,000 cubic metres of soil imported in the process.

The bridge will eventually be a dual lane carriageway road and provide access from the Hume Motorway and into communities around Menangle Park, south of Campbelltown.

Twenty-four girders are anticipated to be laid over the bridge abutments later this year. 

The NSW Budget 2023-24 allocated $4 million for planning Stage 2 of Spring Farm Parkway. 

Stage 2 will see a three-kilometre stretch of a new four lane divided road to link Liz Kernohan Drive, Spring Farm in the west with Spring Farm Parkway Stage 1, Menangle Park.

More information about the project can be found at nswroads.work/sfp2.

Stage 1 of the project is expected to open in late 2024.

NSW Minister for Roads, John Graham said:

Spring Farm Parkway Stage 1 will be a game changer for south-west Sydney and will provide much needed traffic relief for motorists when it opens late next year."

By investing in Spring Farm Parkway Stage 2 out of the NSW Budget 2023-24, we are giving the community confidence that we’re planning for the future to deliver the roads we need in the region."

We’re working hard to ensure that we minimise the impacts to motorists, and I thank the community for their patience as we look to get this project right every step of the way.  

Member for Camden, Sally Quinnell said:

The NSW Government is committed to getting the infrastructure right for our community in Camden, and the Spring Farm Parkway Stage 1 will have a real benefit to motorists when it opens in late 2024."

We’re also looking to the future with funding out of the NSW Budget 2023-24 for stage 2 of the project that will allow us to build the roads we need, and I look forward to working with the community on this critical piece of infrastructure.”

Member for Campbelltown, Greg Warren said:

The NSW Government has made a real statement with its first budget in Government that investment in roads in south-west Sydney is a priority."

I welcome the commitment of $4 million of funding for Spring Farm Parkway Stage 2 as we look to the build the roads we need for our growing community in Campbelltown and south west Sydney in the future.”
