To All Market Stakeholders,

Please see below communication from Transport NSW regarding the ongoing road work on Marlborough Road.

Good morning,


Transport for NSW is carrying out footpath and pedestrian safety upgrades on Marlborough Road, Homebush West. Work is expected to be completed by Friday 28 March.


What work have we done so far?

So far, we have:

  • installed new lanterns in the pedestrian tunnel and new kerb ramps and line marking on the northbound side of Marlborough Road
  • extended the concrete medians at Austin Avenue and constructed new footpaths and kerb ramps
  • carried out maintenance work including clearing and trimming overgrown vegetation and litter collection.

What work are we doing next?

Work still to be completed includes:

  • installation of new light posts and lanterns along the pedestrian footpath after the tunnel exit.

Further information on the project location is shown on the map below.



Our work schedule

We will be working for up to five night shifts between Wednesday 26 February and Friday 28 March 2025, weather permitting.


We will work between Monday and Thursday, 8pm and 5am the next day. We will not work on Friday nights.


We will also not work:

  •  on Saturday or Sunday nights to reduce impacts to Sydney Market operations.
  • when there are planned major events at Sydney Olympic Park. 

What will this mean for you and how will we manage it?

Our work needs to be carried out at night to minimise disruption to traffic and reduce safety risks to our workers, pedestrians, and motorists.


It may be noisy at times, but we will do everything we can to reduce our impacts by:

  • turning off equipment and vehicles when not in use
  • completing noisier tasks by midnight
  • installing noise blankets around our work when carrying out noisy activities
  • using quieter equipment where possible.

Road closures and detours

There will be temporary traffic changes to make sure the work zone is safe. This will include road closures for the remaining shifts and a reduced speed limit of 40km/h.


Access to Centenary Drive southbound off ramp to Marlborough Road will not be permitted between Monday to Thursday, 8pm and 5am.


During this time:

  • access will be maintained to Sydney Market gates on Marlborough Road via Parramatta Road only.
  • Centenary Drive southbound motorists will need to detour via Centenary Drive, U-turn at Liverpool Road, Centenary Drive northbound to access Marlborough Road northbound.

Road closure information will be displayed on Variable Message Signage Boards around the area at least five days before road closures commence.


Transport for NSW thanks the community for their patience whilst we complete this work.
