There are now two lanes from the west link merging with the three from Victoria Road, to make four lanes over the Anzac Bridge. After the opening of City West Link, the Roads & Traffic Authority had plans to connect it to

276-513: The M4 motorway, completely bypassing Parramatta Road. Included in the project was the removal of the at-grade intersections on City West Link for through traffic. The plan was complicated, and involved building bridges for City West Link Road to pass over at-grade intersections, some of which made provision for only one traffic lane in each direction. Residents and advocacy groups voiced fears that this would worsen current congestion problems. The whole project

299-592: The MRB in 1932) declared Main Road 650 along the route, from the interchange with Victoria Road in Rozelle along The Crescent, City Link West Road, Brenan Street, Balmain Road, Lilyfield Road, Dobroyd Parade and Wattle Street to Parramatta Road at Haberfield (and continuing east along Frederick Street to meet with Hume Highway in Croydon ), on 22 January 1993.

Further east, between South Dowling Street and Anzac Parade, 2016 average traffic volumes peaked at 20,000 vehicles west-bound. Cleveland Street

391-562: The subdivision of many of the gentlemen's estates in the neighbouring suburb of Surry Hills. Prior to the 1840s, maps marked Cleveland Street, from Chippendale to Moore Park, as the unsurveyed 'Government Road'. The passing of the Main Roads Act of 1924 through the Parliament of New South Wales provided for the declaration of Main Roads, roads partially funded by the State government through

414-449: The way they could be declared within New South Wales. Under this act, City West Link retains its declaration as part of Main Road 650. Once the final upgrade was completed in 2000, the route was allocated Metroad 4, between Haberfield and Rozelle.

483-655: Was extended from Paramatta Road and allocated along City West Link through Haberfield to the Ramsay Road interchange (where the ramps to the M4 East emerge), and extended a final time along its entire length to the interchange with Western Distributor when the Rozelle Interchange opened in 2023. Motorists began complaining early in 2004 that the road had already become congested, less than four years after opening. The road ultimately feeds into Parramatta Road, thus congestion points on Parramatta Road have simply been moved to different areas rather than relieved altogether. In 2005,
