The '''A6''' is a route designation of a major metropolitan arterial route through suburban [[Sydney]], linking [[Cumberland Highway]] at {{NSWcity|Carlingford}} and [[Princes Highway]] at {{NSWcity|Heathcote}}, via [[Lidcombe]] and [[Bankstown]]. This name covers a few consecutive roads and is widely known to most drivers, but the entire allocation is also known – and signposted – by the names of its constituent parts: '''Marsden Road''', '''Stewart Street''', '''Kissing Point Road''', '''Silverwater Road''', '''St Hilliers Road''', '''Boorea Street''', '''Olympic Drive''', '''Joseph Street''', '''Rookwood Road''', '''Stacey Street''', '''Fairford Road''', '''Davies Road''', '''Alfords Point Road''', '''New Illawarra Road''' and '''[[Heathcote Road]]'''.

==Route==
The A6 commences at the intersection of [[Cumberland Highway]] at [[Carlingford, New South Wales|Carlingford]] and heads in a southerly direction as Marsden Road as a two-lane, single carriageway road, before changing name to Stewart Street at [[Dundas Valley, New South Wales|Dundas Valley]] and heading west, widening to a four-lane, dual-carriageway road. It intersects with and changes name to Kissing Point Road, and then nearly immediately changing name again to Silverwater Road at [[Dundas, New South Wales|Dundas]] and heads south, crossing over [[Victoria Road, Sydney|Victoria Road]] at an interchange in [[Ermington, New South Wales|Ermington]], crossing [[Parramatta River]] over [[Silverwater Bridge]] and widening to a six-lane, dual-carriageway just south of the river in [[Silverwater, New South Wales|Silverwater]], meeting [[M4_Motorway_(Sydney)|M4 Motorway]] at [[Auburn, New South Wales|Auburn]] and then [[Great Western Highway]] shortly afterwards. It changes name to St Hilliers Road and continues southwest, then along Boorea Street heading east, then changes name again to Olympic Drive shortly afterwards and heads in a southerly direction to [[Lidcombe, New South Wales|Lidcombe]], changing name again to Joseph Street and Rookwood Road through [[Potts Hill, New South Wales|Potts Hill]], before changing name again to Stacey Street and narrowing to a four-lane, dual-carriageway road just before it meets [[Hume Highway]] at [[Chullora, New South Wales|Chullora]]. It continues south, changing name to Fairford Road at [[Punchbowl, New South Wales|Punchbowl]], crossing over [[A34 (Sydney)|Canterbury Road]] at an interchange and then meeting [[M5_Motorway_(Sydney)|M5 South Western Motorway]] shortly afterwards at [[Padstow, New South Wales|Padstow]], widening to a six-lane, dual-carriageway road. It changes name to Davies Road soon after, then again to Alfords Point Road at [[Padstow Heights, New South Wales|Padstow Heights]], and crosses [[Georges River]], narrowing to a four-lane, single-carriageway road at [[Alfords Point, New South Wales|Alfords Point]], and meets Old Illawarra Road at [[Menai, New South Wales|Menai]], changing name to New Illawarra Road. It intersects with and changes name for the final time to [[Heathcote Road]] at [[Lucas Heights, New South Wales|Lucas Heights]], before eventually terminating at the intersection with [[Princes Highway]] at [[Heathcote, New South Wales|Heathcote]].

The Department of Main Roads constructed a number of defense routes during [[World War II]], including Heathcote Road and a new road (called New Illawarra Road) between [[Lucas Heights, New South Wales|Lucas Heights]] and [[Heathcote Road]], bypassing the causeway crossing of the [[Woronora River]] at The Needles; these projects were completed during 1941.

The Silverwater Road extension from Ermington to Dundas opened in 1996, allowing through traffic along Stewart Street and Marsden Road to [[Cumberland Highway]] in [[Carlingford, New South Wales|Carlingford]].
