Background
Council has successfully secured funding from the NSW Road Safety Program – Safer Local Government Roads to implement road safety upgrades along Silverdale Road between The Oaks and Silverdale. This grant will provide $5 million to enable Council to upgrade road to improve its quality and poor crash history.
This is great news for Wollondilly road users, with Silverdale Road one of the most frequently used roads in the Shire and our closest link to the new airport at Badgery’s Creek.
Details
Silverdale Rd from The Oaks to Silverdale (Stage 1) will receive targeted upgrades which aim to improve the crash history of the road. Upgrades will include features such as non-skid road surface, safety barriers, clear zones, street signage and reflectors, improved line marking and sealed road shoulders.
Silverdale Rd through Silverdale township (Stage 2) will receive an urban road profile between Warradale Rd and the shopping centre. This will include resurfacing the road, installing shoulders, kerb and gutter, stormwater and footpath. North of the shops to Farnsworth Ave will receive road resurfacing, shoulder widening and swale reworking.

Heavy Vehicle Safety & Productivity Program – Silverdale Road Wallacia
Design is underway to improve the road on Silverdale Road on Baines Hill for heavy vehicles. These works will involve road widening and pavement works from Bents Basin Road for 300m heading West . Works are currently scheduled for November/December 2021. This work is a grant funded job with Wollondilly Shire Council providing 50% of funding. In addition, we are also undertaking further pavement works at the same time between Bents basin Road and the Bridge.

Works have begun. Crews are on the ground with localised traffic management deployed. Please take care on the roads and be aware of changed traffic conditions at work sites.
Please plan for travel delays are to be expected during both stages.
