Toongabbie Intersections

Project Background

In 2019, the NSW Government commenced a study to identify improvements to ease congestion at and near the Toongabbie Bridge. This study identified measures to address the traffic congestion and improve road safety and active transport. The study showed that congestion primarily stems from the intersections on both sides of the bridge.  It recommended against upgrading the bridge across the railway as it would have minimal benefits to congestion and safety and come with significant costs.

In mid-2024, City of Parramatta Council (CoPC) and Cumberland City Council (CCC) each received $1 million in funding from Transport for NSW (TfNSW) to progress the detailed design and approvals of the infrastructure upgrades recommended by the study as detailed below:

  1. Localised widening to allow an additional southbound lane in Wentworth Avenue at Cornelia Road (to be undertaken by CCC).
  2. Replace the existing roundabout at the intersection of Fitzwilliam Road, Station Road and Wentworth Avenue with traffic signals (to be undertaken by CoPC).
  3. Widening Wentworth Avenue to two southbound lanes between the roundabouts and two northbound lanes approaching from the bridge to the roundabout (to be undertaken by CoPC).

Public exhibition of the draft design closed on Tuesday 14 April. For Council’s response to submissions, please visit Participate Parramatta.

Construction Update

The Federal Government has committed $25 million towards the construction of the above listed works which is expected to be made available for both councils at the start of the 2026/27 financial year. Construction on the work in the Parramatta Council area is likely to commence in early 2027 subject to final TfNSW approvals.

Both CCC and CoPC will be working together during the delivery of the works to ensure the staging of the construction has as little impact to the surrounding community as practical.
