At the intersection of City Road, it meets the junction of the Princes Highway and its local name changes to Parramatta Road and heads generally west towards Parramatta, with the majority of traffic diverted off the highway and onto the M4 Western Motorway at . At Parramatta, the highway passes the southern fringe of the Parramatta central business district, and then continues due west across western metropolitan Sydney to , north of the central business district, where it crosses the Nepean River via the 1867 Victoria Bridge. At , the M4 Western Motorway reconnects with the Great Western Highway and the highway ascends the Blue Mountains, reaching its highest point at Mount Boyce, at an elevation of . It intersects at Mount Victoria with the western end of Bells Line Of Road then descends via Victoria Pass into the Hartley Valley. It then passes through the western suburbs of where it is joined by the Chifley Road, which links eastward back to Bells Line Of Road. The highway continues generally west, intersecting with the Castlereagh Highway west of , and crosses Coxs River to ascend the Great Dividing Range and over the western ridge of the Sydney basin before dropping into the Macquarie Valley to terminate at Bathurst, at the junction of the Mitchell Highway and the Mid-Western Highway.〔 At numerous points along its journey, the highway transverses or is transversed by the Main Western railway line. Major river crossings occur east of (Nepean), near (Coxs), and east of Bathurst (Macquarie). It consists of two of Australia's most historic roads - the greater length (other than Railway Square to City Road) of Parramatta Road, and the full length of the Great Western Road, from Parramatta to Bathurst. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Great Western Highway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
