Lake Macquarie Transport Interchange (also known as the Glendale Transport Interchange and Pennant Street Bridge) is a planned transport interchange in the suburbs of Glendale and Cardiff in the City of Lake Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia.

Stage One Section One consists of a road realignment and extension of Glendale Drive on an alignment between Stockland Glendale and Cardiff Locomotive Workshops; Section Two consists of a new bridge over the Main Northern railway line, connecting Pennant Street and the Cardiff industrial estate. ^[1]

Stage two is set to include a new railway station and bus interchange, however this stage of the project is yet to be funded. The project is being managed by Lake Macquarie City Council. ^[1]

Construction commenced on Stage One Section One in July 2015 on stage one of the project, with an extension of Glendale Drive from Glendale to Cardiff opening in June 2017. ^{[2] [3] [4]}

In June 2017 the state government committed $1.7 million to fund the preparation of a business case to complete the project. ^[5] However, in June 2018, the state government announced that it will not fund the new bridge across the railway line. ^[6]
