Mowbray Road/Pacific Highway

Residents in Artarmon have long been concerned about the number of motorists travelling eastbound on Mowbray Road West who ‘rat-run’ through Artarmon Village and residential streets to access the Gore Hill Freeway. 

At its May meeting, Council unanimously agreed to write to the NSW Minister for Transport and Willoughby MP Tim James to request an investigation of a designated right-hand turn southbound onto Pacific Highway, including how signalling could operate, to allow access to Gore Hill Freeway without the need to drive through Artarmon. 

Council will also seek a meeting between Transport for NSW, Willoughby MP, Tim James, relevant Councillors, Council Officers and relevant Progress Associations to discuss options to address the issue and improve the performance of the intersection while the NSW Government is preparing a masterplan for the Metro work site.
