General Information:
Metroad 9 is a major north-south route on Sydney's
outer western fringe. It passes through residential, commercial and
farming areas.
The route is mostly undivided semi-rural road,
except through the main area of Windsor (duplexed with SR40), between
Cambridge Gardens to Glenmore Park and from Narellan to Campbelltown.
In these areas, it's mostly divided multi-lane roadway.
The Tourist Drive 18 duplex runs from the
interchange with Hume Hwy (NH31 / Metroad 5) at Blairmount to Park Road
at Luddenham. Up until 2008, Tourist Drive 14 and State Route 40 used
to be duplexed along the route through Windsor.
