M4 Western Motorway
Encyclopedia
The M4 Western Motorway,, (also known as the M4 Motorway or simply M4) is a motorway in central Sydney
, New South Wales
, Australia
. It forms part of Sydney Metroad 4
.
The Western Motorway was originally constructed in several stages as the F4 Western Freeway between the late 1960s and the mid 1980s, however a lack of funding resulted in the government of Neville Wran
halting plans to construct the final stage between Mays Hill and Prospect in 1985. In December 1989 work to construct this stage began as a Build-Own-Operate-Transfer
project. In return for funding construction StateWide Roads, the consortium awarded the contract to build the stage, was given permission to toll the section between James Ruse Drive
and Silverwater Road as traffic volumes on this section were significantly higher than between Mays Hill-Prospect and would allow a shorter toll period with lower tolls. The concession held by StateWide Roads ended on 15 February 2010, with operation of the motorway returned to the Roads and Traffic Authority
and the toll removed.
The Motorway is mostly 6 lanes wide, and carries constant heavy traffic during daylight hours, seven days a week. Built as a four lane motorway, it was widened to six lanes during 1998 to 2000, but this did little to ease the congestion. Widening the motorway any further would probably not help, as without the M4 East extension (see below), the congestion would just move further east, where traffic is deposited onto surface streets at Strathfield
.
Originally planned in the mid 1950s to start in the CBD
, the eastern section was built only as far west as Pyrmont
as part of the North West Expressway, or F3, a freeway that would connect the Sydney and Newcastle
central business districts. This section is now part of the Western Distributor
. From there it was to have joined with the Western Expressway, the F4, and the Southern Expressway, the F6, in Glebe
.
On the basis of a pre-election promise made by the Premier of New South Wales
Neville Wran
in 1976, all land reserved for the expressway between Pyrmont and the current eastern termination point at Strathfield was sold off to property developers or declassified as a freeway corridor in 1977 by the State Government. The proposed expressway ran through the seat held by the Premier Wran.
A major extension to the M4 has been proposed and has well-advanced plans. This extension would extend the M4 beyond its current end in Strathfield
by approximately five kilometres, so that it would subsequently end in Ashfield
and be continuous with the City West Link
. Further planned upgrades to the City West Link would mean commuters going west out of the city could get to Parramatta
without passing through traffic lights. The NSW Government recently outlined a $7 billion plan to link the M4, Victoria Road
, City West Link and Sydney Airport
using a network of underground tunnels.
As of April 2005, the NSW state government has shelved plans for the M4 East extension, citing the need for an integrated plan for transport, but possibly to mitigate residents in affected suburbs which would have been affected by increased traffic had the M4 East link been approved. Future plans may include instead a continuous traffic-light-free link from the city's Western Distributor to the current end of the M4.
In the month prior to the 2011 state election
, the NRMA
released a report in which it recommended building a tunnel to connect the end of the M4 at Concord
and the start of the City West Link, relieving Parramatta Road of enough traffic to convert it into two lanes for slower-moving local traffic, two lanes of light rail
and a cycleway. The report argued that this would allow Parramatta Road
to be transformed with medium density housing, shops and cafes and that the $10.04 billion in additional stamp duty and other revenues from this would pay for the $7.38 billion price tag of the project.
The lack of this link is currently causing major problems for any commercial traffic wishing to travel between Port Botany
and the many factories and warehouses in the western suburbs. The M5 South Western Motorway
does connect directly to Port Botany, but it has chronic congestion problems of its own, and doesn't provide easy access to inner western areas of Sydney. There is so much demand for this link, that traffic not only uses the designated Metroad 4
(Parramatta Road), but also several back streets to the north and south, most of which are 2 lane residential streets.
