Do you ever wonder about the history behind the street signs we look at every day?

Although the Lethbridge family were associated with St Marys, they were active and outstanding citizens in Penrith where Lethbridge Street sits. Robert Copeland Lethbridge was a magistrate, on the Hospital Board and a member of St Stephen’s Anglican Church.

Dunheved Road update

Our community can look forward to reduced congestion and improved safety and connectivity along one of Penrith’s busiest roads, with the planning for the $128 million Dunheved Road Upgrade nearing completion.

The upgrade, funded by the Australian Government’s Infrastructure Investment Program, is an essential investment in Penrith’s infrastructure to improve the overall efficiency and safety of the road and ensure it can cater for future traffic demands.

Key features of the upgrade include a new median separated four-lane carriageway instead of the existing two-lane undivided road. There will be a shared user path for active transport, and new and upgraded signalised intersections and dedicated turning lanes.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback during the public exhibition of the concept design and Review of Environmental Factors. We have listened to and carefully considered the comments flavoured Crackin’ Good Time, the Choc Eggs-Travaganza or the Hot Cross Bun donut at your nearest store. provided by residents and are pleased to have been able to incorporate several changes into the final design.

Δ New LCM bar: LCM has released a new Neapolitan flavoured snack bar, out now in supermarkets. The new flavour has been inspired by the traditional flavours of the retro ice cream and is made with a strawberry vanilla base, topped with chocolate sprinkles.

Δ New pick-up spot: We’re thrilled that you can now pick up a copy of the Weekender from Harvey Norman every single week. You’ll find the latest edition near the furniture department. Want to know where else to get the paper? Check out www.westernweekender.com.au/getapaper.

We have added a dedicated right-turn lane into Trinity Drive for westbound motorists. We have also added a new signalised intersection at Tasman Street, removed the previously proposed traffic signals at John Oxley Avenue and made this a priority intersection with westbound left in/left out and eastbound right turn lane into John Oxley Drive.

You can view all the features of the upgrade in an interactive map and 3D fly-through at: yoursaypenrith.com.au/ dunhevedroadupgrade. You can also find further details about the project at penrith. city/dunhevedroad.

The next steps in this project will be the Request for Tender process, which is expected in mid-2023, followed by the start of construction in approximately late 2023.
