Henry Lawson Drive is an 20-kilometre (12 mi)[1] urban road linking Lansdowne and Peakhurst in the south-western suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Henry Lawson Drive commences at the intersection with Hume Highway and Woodville Road - also known as the Meccano Set due to its series of overhead gantries - at Lansdowne, and heads in a southerly direction as a two-lane single carriageway road, running alongside the bank of Prospect Creek and then Georges River for the most part, past Bankstown Airport and through Milperra to meet South-West Motorway.
In 1963, following the closure of the Morgans Creek landfill waste disposal site at the southern end of The River Road, Henry Lawson Drive was extended to Padstow Heights with the completion of the 53-metre-long (174 ft) bridge over Little Salt Pan Creek.
[10] The first section through Georges Hall was completed in May 2023, adding an extra southbound lane and a new pedestrian footpath.
[12] Subsequent stages are intended to see duplication to dual two-lane carriageways from Hume Highway to South-West Motorway.
