What they’re doing
Transport for NSW will carry out a series of works at intersections in Pyrmont and on the Western Distributor between the Anzac Bridge and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. A review of environmental factors explains the proposed works and their impacts.
The package of works includes:
- constructing a new on-ramp from Fig Street to the Western Distributor
- increasing the number of traffic lanes on Allen Street from 3 to 4 lanes and removing parking
- removing one signalised pedestrian crossing leg at the intersection of Allen and Harris streets
- widening the Pyrmont Bridge Road off-ramp from one to 2 lanes with line marking
- converting a zebra crossing to a signalised pedestrian crossing at the Pyrmont Bridge Road off-ramp
- installing 3 new electronic variable speed gantries on the Anzac Bridge to help manage traffic flows.
Work is expected to start in 2023 and take around 2 years to complete.
