Why are we doing this?
Victoria Road is one of Sydney’s busiest roads. Traffic congestion and illegal use of the T3 lane slows down the buses travelling through Drummoyne and Rozelle in the AM peak.

At present a bus trip through Drummoyne and Rozelle during the morning peak can take up to 28 minutes to complete. Commuters note that on some days the trip can take much longer. The RTA has measured that bus travel time savings of up to 18 minutes can be achieved in the AM peak period upon completion of the project.

What is being built? 

In Drummoyne the project will provide:

  • A citybound bus lane through Drummoyne in the AM peak.
  • A citybound bus lane through Drummoyne to Terry Street, Rozelle in the PM peak.
  • A new citybound bus bay at Cary Street.
  • Clearways during peak periods.
  • Changed traffic arrangements in Drummoyne including a moveable median barrier.  

Over Iron Cove the project will provide:

  • A new bridge over Iron Cove.
  • A 4.3 metre wide cyclist and pedestrian path over the new bridge.
  • A 24-hour citybound bus lane over Iron Cove.
  • An outbound bus lane over Iron Cove in the AM peak. 

In Rozelle the project will provide:

  • An outbound bus lane from Clubb Street, Rozelle to the end of the new bridge in the AM peak.
  • Clearways during peak periods.
  • Changed traffic arrangements in Rozelle.
Who is delivering the project?
The Inner West Busway is being delivered by an project team made up of the RTA, Baulderstone, Hyder Consulting and Manidis Roberts.
