General Information:
A44 is an east-west route that forms a major arterial route in Sydney's western suburbs. It's a mostly multi-laned road, much of which is divided. It's Australia's oldest road.
Since the completion of Western Mwy (M4) the importance of the route has changed, however it's still one of the city's busier routes.
Multiplexes along the route include:
