From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

M4 East redirects here. For information on the proposed extension see M4 Western Motorway

Metroad 4 is a Metroad in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It connects the inner-west of Sydney with the outer western suburbs. It mostly follows what was previously National Highway 32 from the M2 in the CBD, west to the Great Western Highway (Route 32) at Lapstone. Metroad 4 consolidates the previous stretches State Route 40 and National Route 32.

Metroad 4 changes names several times as it passes through the city. Its names from the CBD to Lapstone are (bold are motorway grade): Western Distributor; Victoria Road; The Crescent; City West Link Road; Dobroyd Parade; Wattle Street; Parramatta Road; Western Motorway.

The M4 Western Motorway was opened in stages between the early 1970s and 1993. Earlier sections predated the Metroad system, however the completed motorway was designated part of Metroad 4 and among the first uses of the hexagonal Metroad markers.
