Transport Corridor Completed Project
Wentworth Falls West
BLUE MOUNTAINS TRANSPORT CORRIDOR
The upgrade of the Great Western Highway in the Blue Mountains involves widening the highway to four lanes between Emu Plains and Katoomba and to mostly three lanes between Katoomba and Mount Victoria, and is the responsibility of the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA).
The Australian Government will spend $200 million on the upgrade and the NSW Government will spend $360 million (note that these figures exclude the proposed Mt Victoria to Lithgow upgrade).
The upgrade works completed to date has led to improved travel times for motorists as well as providing a safer road environment for all motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. The RTA will continue to keep the local community informed on the status of the Great Western Highway upgrade through their website, community newsletters and local newspaper advertisements.
