State Route 69 South (Campbelltown to Bulli Tops)
State Route 69 is in 2 sections, north
(Windsor to Singleton) and south (Campbelltown to Bulli
Tops). It used to be one continuous route until the
introduction of Metroad 9 in 1998, which replaced SR
69 between Windsor and Curran's Hill near Campbelltown.
The northern terminus of this section
is at the Hume Highway interchange just outside Campbelltown.
This interchange is the terminus from State Route 69
South, National Highway 31 (Hume Hwy), Metroad 5 (South
Eastern Freeway) & Metroad 9 (Narellan Road).
This section of road passes through
Campbelltown (and its southern suburbs) and Appin. The
route also skirts Cataract Dam before terminating with
the Southern Freeway (NR1) / Princes Highway (SR60)
interchange at Bulli Tops on the top of the Illawarra
Escarpment.
The section between Appin and Bulli
Tops has had numerous upgrades over the years, especially
during the late 1980s and early 90s, to add more overtaking
opportunities, provide a wider road corridor and safer
bends. Roads along the route include Narellan Road, Appin Road, Bull-Appin Road. Towns along the route include Campbelltown and Appin.
