“Knox Road has been a long and staged project for Council. This last stage between Cross Street and Eastern Road was the most significant and completes the overall project with the entire road a four lane divided road”, Mayor of Blacktown City, Councillor Len Robinson said.
The project is part of Council’s Works Improvement Program and included the widening of Knox Road into a four lane divided road, landscaping and improved street lighting.
The large roundabout at the Knox Road and Eastern Road intersection was also converted into a signalised intersection.
The focus of the Knox Road project was the duplication of the bridge which crosses the western railway line, to double its size from two to four lanes.
“This project and particularly the duplication of the bridge was a significant civil engineering project for our city. I congratulate Council’s engineers on their management and administration of this project”, Mayor Robinson said.
Knox Road forms part of the outer-ring road of Blacktown connecting motorists from Sunnyholt Road through to the Great Western Highway, using Quakers Hill Parkway, Knox Road and Doonside Road.
