Integration of mega projects into the existing network: the critical role of traffic modelling

The NSW Government is committed to achieving one of the most ambitious infrastructure delivery tasks of recent times. The NSW State Infrastructure Strategy prioritises the delivery of a number of major public transport and road infrastructure projects to tackle congestion and sustain productivity growth in major centres and regional communities of NSW. Roads and Maritime Services has a key role to ensure the success of these major transport projects including through expert planning and preparation for integration of these projects into the existing road network. This paper provides a high level overview of the technical analyses carried out by Roads and Maritime to inform planning for two major projects, the M4 Widening of WestConnex and the CBD and South East Light Rail, into the Sydney road network. The paper outlines transport modelling analyses carried out to assess the forecast performance of the adjacent road network with these major projects and the integration measures identified through this modelling analysis to enable their successful implementation.
