Work starts on new road infrastructure servicing North Wilton

Work has started on new road infrastructure servicing North Wilton.
The project is being fully funded by Landcom and includes a new three-lane bridge over the Hume Motorway as well as new entry and exit ramps designed to improve motorway access, reduce local traffic and connect North Wilton to key town centres.
The existing Niloc Bridge will be converted into a dedicated pedestrian and cycle path.
An official sod turning ceremony for the project was held earlier this week.
Landcom has engaged Seymour Whyte Constructions as its principal contractor for the project with a target completion date set for late next year (2027).
On completion, maintenance of the bridge and ramps will be the responsibility of Transport for NSW rather than Wollondilly Shire Council.
Landcom – which is planning to build 5600 new homes in the North Wilton precinct over the next 25 years as part of its Panorama residential development – said the infrastructure was “vital” to the growth of North Wilton and the wider Wilton area.
When complete, it says, motorists will be able to make smoother, faster journeys locally and when travelling to Campbelltown, Sydney and beyond.
The new ramps – a northbound entry ramp and a southbound exit ramp – will become the main access points to and from the North Wilton precinct.
Associated infrastructure will include new traffic lights at the intersection of the exit ramp and Fairway Drive.
Motorists will use the new northbound ramp to enter the Hume Motorway from North Wilton and the new Wilton Town Centre.
The ramp will start approximately 300 metres south of the existing Niloc Bridge and will join the Hume Motorway as a merge underneath the bridge.
The new southbound ramp will allow motorists to exit the Hume Motorway and enter directly into Bingara Gorge by turning left by turning right and travelling over the new bridge.
Landcom says the project will relieve traffic on Fairway Drive, Pembroke Parade, Picton Road and the Hume Motorway-Picton Road interchange.
It will also enhance safety and connectivity for cyclists and pedestrians via the Niloc Bridge.
The new bridge will be approximately 66 metres long and will have three lanes – two westbound and one eastbound.
