Sydney ‘MetroWay’ to link Bankstown to GreenWay Via 14km Path

First the GreenWay, now the MetroWay.

The Southwest Metro is set to deliver a significant new active transport spine for Sydney’s Inner West and South West, with plans unveiled for a 13.8-kilometre walking and cycling corridor running parallel to the metro line.

Dubbed the “MetroWay” during design and delivery, the route will connect Bankstown to Sydenham Metro Station, linking riders and walkers through Campsie, Marrickville and Dulwich Hill, and tying directly into the popular GreenWay.

At Dulwich Hill, the MetroWay will intersect with the six-kilometre GreenWay corridor, creating a continuous connection from the Cooks River through to the Bay Run at Iron Cove. The link is designed to connect new metro stations with existing and planned cycling networks, making it easier for people of all ages and abilities to ride, walk or run between neighbourhood centres.

A key milestone was reached today with the opening of the new 1,200-square-metre Dulwich Hill station plaza. Delivered as part of the Southwest Metro project, the plaza strengthens connections between buses, light rail and metro services while creating a new community space in the village heart.

The MetroWay will include lighting, trees, clear wayfinding and connections to more than 350 bike parking spaces at southwest stations.

Construction on the Southwest Metro conversion and station works is now more than 80 per cent complete, with high-speed testing underway. Once operational, the line will deliver faster, more frequent services across the corridor, alongside what Transport Minister John Graham described as “city-shaping” public spaces and active transport connections.
