State Route 40 (Bilpin to Windsor)
State Route 40 is located Sydney and Lithgow. The route
is formed by several routes. It duplexes with state
route 21 from Drummoyne to Huntleys Point (over Gladesville
Bridge), and also Metroad 2 from Kellyville to Windsor.
It's interesting to note that both the Western Distributor
and Gladesville Bridge (and the associated Burns Bay
Road (SR21)) were to form part of the F3 Freeway from
Sydney to the Hunter Region of NSW.
The route's eastern terminus is the Western Distributor
at Darling Harbour and to the west, it's terminus is
the corner of the Great Western Highway (NR32) &
Main Street in Lithgow.
Roads taken in by SR40 include the Western Distributor,
Anzac Bridge, Victoria Road, Church Street, Windsor
Road, Bridge Street, Macquarie Street, Richmond Road,
Windsor Street, East Market Street, March Street, Kurrajong
Road, Bells Line of Road, Chifley Road, Mort Street,

Some of the towns and suburbs through which SR40 passes
through include Darling Harbour, Drummoyne, Gladesville,
Ryde, Parramatta, Baulkham Hills, Kellyville, Windsor,
Richmond, Kurrajong, Bell and Lithgow.
