Contents

Route

Appin Road commences at the intersection with Oxley Street and Narellan Road in Campbelltown and heads in a southerly direction as a four-lane, dual-carriageway road, narrowing to a two-lane, single carriageway road at Rosemeadow, to Appin, before continuing in a south-easterly direction to the interchange with Princes Motorway at Bulli Tops, in the Illawarra region just north of Bulli.

History

The passing of the Main Roads Act of 1924 [3] through the Parliament of New South Wales provided for the declaration of Main Roads, roads partially funded by the State government through the Main Roads Board (later the Department of Main Roads, and eventually Transport for NSW). Main Road No. 177 was declared along this road on 8 August 1928, from the intersection with Narellan Road in Campbelltown, via Appin to the intersection with Princes Highway near the top of Bull Pass (and continuing north along Campbelltown Road to the intersection with Hume Highway at Crossroads); [2] with the passing of the Main Roads (Amendment) Act of 1929 [4] to provide for additional declarations of State Highways and Trunk Roads, this was amended to Main Road 177 on 8 April 1929.

The passing of the Roads Act of 1993 [5] updated road classifications and the way they could be declared within New South Wales. Under this act, Appin Road retains its declaration as part of Main Road 177. [6]

The route was allocated State Route 69 in 1974. With the conversion to the newer alphanumeric system in 2013, this was replaced with route B69. [7]
