New Richmond Bridge Project Causes Road Closures and Detours
What happened
Stage 1 of the New Richmond Bridge project is underway to improve safety and flood resilience over the Hawkesbury River. Starting October 16, motorists traveling through The Driftway will face a changed detour. The intersection of The Driftway and Blacktown Road, along with a section of The Driftway, will close, diverting traffic via Londonderry Road, Carrington Road, and Bennett Road. Additional night works are also scheduled for October 13 and 14 at the The Driftway and Londonderry Road roundabout.
Why it matters
The project involves upgrades to The Driftway intersections at Blacktown Road and Londonderry Road, which are funded by the Australian and New South Wales governments. These upgrades are aimed at improving safety and flood resilience in the area.
Road disruption near the Hawkesbury River crossing in Richmond is currently underway for flood resilience and safety improvements.
