inner west bus way along victoria road

Introduction

There are 200,000 bus commuters each week on Victoria Road. This project will improve the travel times and reliability of bus services - especially in the busy morning peak period. 

A busway will be built on Victoria Road between Westbourne Street in Drummoyne and The Crescent in Rozelle. This dedicated bus lane in peak periods through Drummoyne and Rozelle will result in:

  • Faster and more reliable bus travel.
  • Greater road safety. 
  • Improved facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.

The New South Wales Government will spend $175 million on the busway including a new bridge over Iron Cove and improved cyclist and pedestrian facilities throughout Rozelle and Drummoyne. 
 
Target date for substantial completion is December 2010, weather permitting.

Night maintenance and resurfacing works along Victoria Road, Drummoyne

From Wednesday 30 June, the RTA will start pavement maintenance work along Victoria Road between Westbourne Street and Park Avenue in Drummoyne as part of the Inner West Busway project. The work will involve strengthening and replacing some sections of the concrete road pavement prior to resurfacing Victoria Road.

The work has been programmed so that the noisiest activities are not undertaken at the same location for more than two consecutive nights.

The program is subject to change and will be updated here daily.

Program last updated 30 July 2010, 1:44 pm.
