About -
The Western Distributor Smart Motorway project installed smart technology and digital signage on the Western Distributor between Anzac Bridge and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, to improve traffic flow, travel time and safety for road users. Around 130,000 vehicles use the Western Distributor each day, making it Sydney’s busiest transport corridor.
Installation of the gantries involves the closure of the Western Distributor with traffic and buses detoured to enable the large cranes to set up and install gantries overnight and reopen the road to users for the busy morning peak. To connect these 21 gantries, electric cables and roadside cabinets were installed in the surrounding streets and roads through a network of above ground cable trays, and underground pits and conduits.
