Major Work Starts On Memorial Avenue Upgrade

Major work to ease congestion and improve safety along Memorial Avenue in Kellyville has begun, with the sod turned on the $224 million upgrade last month.

Memorial Avenue is being widened to a four lane divided road, with shared pedestrian and cyclist paths to help people connect with Sydney Metro stations at Kellyville and Bella Vista, and will improve safety and travel times for the 30,000 drivers who use the road every day.

The upgrade also includes additional dedicated left and right turn lanes at the Windsor Road and Memorial Avenue intersection, and bus users will benefit from new bus priority traffic lights.

Work will be carried out on weekdays (excluding public holidays) between 7am and 6pm, weather permitting. The major upgrade is expected to open to road users in late 2023. Once completed, Memorial Avenue will have a consistent speed limit of 80km/h.
