The project will upgrade Fifteenth Avenue to create a critical transit corridor from Liverpool to the new Western Sydney International Airport.
Over 22,000 vehicles per day travel along the two-lane Fifteenth Avenue, with around 8% of those being trucks. Liverpool City Council predicts a significant increase in housing in the areas immediately around Fifteenth Avenue, which could see as many as 63,000 additional people living there by 2041.
Fifteenth Avenue will connect the new Bradfield city centre, the new Metro, and the airport, enabling multi-modal travel including public transport along the route.
The Australian Government is investing AU$500 million (US$30.4 million), as is the New South Wales Government.
The Australian Government says that it is investing nearly $18 billion (US$11.1 billion) towards transport infrastructure projects in Western Sydney.

鈥淭his half a billion dollars鈥� worth of new funding from the Australian Government is part of our commitment to delivering more resilient infrastructure for all Australians.鈥�
