At the intersection with Waratah Street it changes name to Dobroyd Parade and narrows to a four-lane, single carriageway, following Iron Cove Creek and the southern bank of Iron Cove until it crosses Hawthorne Canal, where it changes name to City West Link and continues east, following the Inner West Light Rail track through Lilyfield.

It intersects with and changes name to The Crescent, before terminating a short distance at the interchange with Victoria Road in Rozelle, where it continues east as Western Distributor.

The City West Link project, much to the disappointment of some local residents, simply involved the upgrade of existing roads and streets to at least four lanes.

Previously eastbound traffic on the link had to merge from two lanes into one, just before joining Victoria Road west of the Anzac Bridge.

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.
