Background
Camden Valley Way is a major arterial road linking the Hume Highway, M7 and M5 interchange at Prestons, near Liverpool, with the historic town of Camden. It passes through several precincts that are to be developed within the new South West Growth Centre.
The majority of the 25 kilometre route currently has only two lanes, one lane in each direction.
In December 2005, work was completed to upgrade Camden Valley Way to four lanes between the M7 interchange and Bernera Road, Prestons.
In 2007 the NSW Government committed a further $104 million over four years to continue upgrading Camden Valley Way to four-lanes between Bernera Road, Prestons and Narellan Road, Narellan.
The Camden Valley Way upgrade would provide additional road capacity to meet the needs of a growing urban population, as well as a safer road environment for all road users.
Work has commenced to construct the section from Bernera Road, Prestons to Cowpasture Road, Horningsea Park.
In November 2008 the RTA displayed an access strategy for the remaining 14 kilometres of Camden Valley Way, from Cowpasture Road to Narellan Road.
This upgrade will be undertaken in stages to reflect the development of land in the South West Growth Centre.

The section from Narellan Road to Cobbitty Road will be the next stage to be constructed. A concept design for this section was on display until 9 October 2009.
The concept design for the remaining 10.7km of Camden Valley Way between Cobbitty Road and Cowpasture Road will be on display from Monday 12 October 2009 until Friday 13 November 2009.
