This feature article by Leighton Contractors on the Northwest T-Way appeared in the Australian National Construction Review Magazine.
Overall the project consisted of 24 km
- 21 km of exclusive Priority A busway
- 3 km of bus lanes
- 30 bus stations
- 2 P&R with 400 car spaces (in total)
- Seven new bridges and three underpasses
- 3m wide shared pedestrian path and cycle way was built along the entire length
of the T-way.
Cost was about $542 million for 24 km and 30 stops/stations, or 22 million/km (2004 dollars). In today’s dollars about $36.3 million/km.
In December 2004 the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (NSW RTA) awarded Leighton Contractors the contract to design, construct and maintain a $524 million transit way development for a rapid bus service linking Parramatta, Blacktown and Rouse Hill.
The North-West T-way, or T-way, would link existing bus and rail networks, including the recently completed Paramatta-Liverpool T-way. Former NSW Premier Bob Carr envisaged the T-way would provide Sydney’s North West residents with increased access to “jobs, health, education and leisure facilities”, reduced travelling times and reduced car congestion on existing roads.
