TheA34 is a route designation of a major metropolitan arterial route through suburbanSydney, linkingHume Highway atLiverpool andPrinces Highway atNewtown, running parallel to the tolledM5 Motorway. This name covers a few consecutive roads and is widely known to most drivers, but the entire allocation is also known – and signposted – by the names of its constituent parts:Macquarie Street,Terminus Street,Newbridge Road,Milperra Road,(New) Canterbury Road,Stanmore Road andEnmore Road.^[3]

Route

[edit]

The A34 commences at the intersection withHume Highway and Hoxton Park Road inLiverpool and heads in an easterly direction as Macquarie Street as a four-lane, single-carriageway road, turning into Terminus Street very shortly afterwards. It changes name to Newbridge Road and crosses theGeorges River for the first time, intersecting withHeathcote Road shortly afterwards, and widening to a six-lane, dual-carriageway road. It continues east throughMoorebank, crosses the Georges River again and meetsHenry Lawson Drive atMilperra. It changes name to Milperra Road and continues in an easterly direction until it reaches The River Road inRevesby, where it changes name again to Canterbury Road, meetingKing Georges Road atRoselands. AtHurlstone Park, the route splits off east to become New Canterbury Road. It changes name to Stanmore Road at the intersection of Crystal and Shaw Streets atPetersham, and intersecs with and changes name to Enmore Road at the intersection with Edgeware Road inEnmore, before eventually terminating at the intersection withKing Street inNewtown.^[1]^[4]

History

[edit]

The passing of theMain Roads Act of 1924^[5] through theParliament of New South Wales provided for the declaration of Main Roads, roads partially funded by the State government through theMain Roads Board. Main Road No. 167 was declared on 8 August 1928, from the intersection with King Street in Newtown, along Enmore and Stanmore Roads, New Canterbury Road and Canterbury Road to the intersection with Chapel Road inBankstown;^[2] with the passing of theMain Roads (Amendment) Act of 1929^[6] to provide for additional declarations of State Highways and Trunk Roads, this was amended to Main Road 167 on 8 April 1929.

Main Road 512 was declared betweenHeathcote Road andHume Highway inLiverpool on 15 November 1939 (and continuing southeast along Heathcote Road viaLucas Heights toPrinces Highway atHeathcote);^[7] the western end of Main Road 167 was later extended along Milperra and Newbridge Roads to meet Main Road 512 (Heathcote Road) atMoorebank on 20 March 1940.^[8]

The passing of theRoads Act of 1993^[9] updated road classifications and the way they could be declared within New South Wales. Under this act, the A34 retains its declaration as Main Road 167 (from Moorebank to Newtown), and part of Main Road 512 (Liverpool to Moorebank).^[10]

The route was allocated State Route 54 in 1974, from Liverpool to Newtown. In 1993, its eastern end was extended along King Street andCity Road to the intersection withBroadway atChippendale (replacing State Route 66, itself having replaced National Route 1 the previous year when the opening of theSydney Harbour Tunnel had it re-aligned).^[11] With the conversion to the newer alphanumeric system in 2013, State Route 54 was truncated back to its original eastern terminus at King Street in Newtown and replaced by route A34, with the former extension replaced by route A36 as part ofPrinces Highway.^[4]
