Erskine Park. $55 million link road

The NSW government has awarded the contract for the $55 million Erskine Park Link Road to NACE Civil Engineering Pty Ltd, at Prestons, to build the 3.1 km four lane divided road between Lenore Lane, Penrith, and Old Wallgrove Road, Blacktown. Work will start as soon as possible with the main work site established in late July. It’s expected the link will be completed in 2013. “The Erskine Park Link Road connecting Lenore Lane and Old Wallgrove Road will unlock hundreds of hectares of new employment lands within the Western Sydney Employment Area,” Premier Barry O’Farrell said.
