August Update

Weekend shutdowns and nightworks | August 2025

To enable work on the construction of Hunts Creek Bridge to continue, a section of North Rocks Road will be closed from 8pm Friday 15 August to 5am Monday 18 August.

  • North Rocks Road will be closed for all traffic between Church Street / Windsor Road to the Woolworths’ driveway at The Mills shopping centre.
  • For northbound traffic, detours will be in place via Pennant Hills Road and James Ruse Drive. Traffic controllers will be on site to manage traffic flow.
  • For southbound traffic, detours will be in place via Stratham Avenue and Bettington Road.
  • Motorists travelling south on North Rocks Road can turn right into the Woolworths’ driveway at The Mills shopping centre.
  • Customers will exit left out of Woolworths. No right turn.
  • Traffic control will be in place at the Woolworths’ driveway to manage access in and out.
  • Access through the work zone will be facilitated for buses and emergency services vehicles.
  • Avoid the area if you can.
  • Expect delays.
  • Allow extra travel time.

Nightworks Monday 14 July to Saturday 30 August 2025

Nightworks will begin on North Rocks Road from Monday 14 July continuing until Saturday 30 August 2025.

During this time, nightworks will begin at 8pm with North Rocks Road reinstated to normal use by 5am the following morning. Two-way traffic will be maintained throughout, with traffic controllers in place.

Throughout the program, the focus of work includes:

  • Essential utility cut-cover, including Telstra upgrades.
  • Sydney Water’s chlorination of the newly-installed water mains (17 July 2025) to disinfect the mains to ensure water is safe to drink. The final cut-over will take place at a later stage (TBC).
  • Jemena is scheduled to relocate the high-pressure gas main on 21 July.
  • It is expected that night work will be scheduled for up to five (5) nights a week.

The schedule is subject to Transport for NSW approval, weather and site conditions.

Detours

During the weekend shutdown from 8pm Friday 11 July to 5am Monday 14 July, North Rocks Road will be closed from the Church Street / Windsor Road intersection to the Woolworths’ driveway at The Mills shopping centre. Detours will be in place.

The full detour (via Pennant Hills Road, James Ruse Drive and Cumberland Highway) is anticipated to add approximately 20 to 30 minutes to travel time. Please refer to the map below.

Traffic controllers will be on site to manage traffic flow. Motorists are advised to avoid the area if they can, expect delays, and allow extra travel time.


Arrangements for buses and emergency service vehicles

Buses and emergency service vehicles will be able to access North Rocks Road (through the construction site in both directions) during all stages of the project.

Arrangements for large vehicles

To assist with traffic management, Bettington Road and Stratham Avenue can be used by vehicles up to 8-tonnes during the construction period.

Vehicles more than 8-tonnes will be required to use arterial roads that support their loads, i.e. Pennant Hills Road, Cumberland Highway, Windsor Road.

About the Project

North Rocks Road upgrade – a new $11.5M bridge at Hunts Creek, North Parramatta.

A new $11.5M single-span concrete bridge and associated roadworks will be constructed at Hunts Creek on North Rocks Road, North Parramatta.

The upgrade will be completed over 14 months* with altered traffic arrangements in place for the duration of the program.

The new bridge will be 14.4m in length and will span approximately 28m. It will integrate into the existing geometry of North Rocks Road and will carry two lanes of traffic in the southbound direction and one lane of traffic in the northbound direction.

A 3m-wide shared pedestrian and cycle path will feature on the eastern side of the bridge, and a 3.6m-wide shared path will be installed on the western side.

The removal of the culverts will increase the stormwater capacity of the creek, potentially improving the flood conditions on North Rocks Road.

The upgrade will also provide improved local cycling and pedestrian connections.

While some disruption will be unavoidable, this work is necessary to ensure the safety of our community, and every effort will be made to minimise traffic congestion and impact on residents.

The schedule is subject to Transport for NSW approvals, weather, contractor availability, material supply, and site conditions.

Project Funding

The $11.5M Hunts Creek Bridge project is jointly funded by the Australian and State Governments in association with the City of Parramatta Council. Federal, State and Local Government logos.
