The Australian and NSW governments are jointly funding the $105 million upgrade of Mulgoa Road, Penrith from Union Road to Thornton Drive.

From 10pm Wednesday 25 December to 5am Tuesday 31 December, weather permitting, important work will take place to install a new rail bridge over Castlereagh Road. This complicated work will be carried out during a shutdown of the Blue Mountains Line. Buses will replace trains between Penrith and Bathurst from 2am Thursday 26 December to 2am Tuesday 31 December.

The work will include removing the existing rail bridge, installing the new bridge and constructing new bridge protection structures. Installing the new bridge will allow the existing rail underpass to be widened to have three northbound and southbound lanes on Castlereagh Road, improving traffic flow and easing congestion.

There will be a full closure of Castlereagh Road between Jane Street and Thornton Drive from 10pm Wednesday 25 December to 5am Tuesday 31 December 2019. Traffic will be diverted to The Northern Road via Andrews Road on the northern side and Jane Street on the southern side of the railway line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Road users are expected to experience up to 30 minutes delay on the detour route. There will be extensive travel time delays in Penrith CBD on 26 and 27 December 2019. Road users are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time and use alternative routes where possible. Patience and understanding of all road users is appreciated whilst this important work is carried out.

Pedestrian access on Castlereagh Road will not be available during the full closure. An alternative route from Penrith Station will be in place. Please refer to the map above for the pedestrian detour.
