**Appin Road** is a [New South Wales](/source/New_South_Wales) secondary highway linking [Campbelltown](/source/Campbelltown%2C_New_South_Wales) and Sydney's western suburbs with [Wollongong](/source/Wollongong). It is named after [Appin](/source/Appin%2C_New_South_Wales), which lies on its path.

## 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](/source/Rosemeadow%2C_New_South_Wales), to Appin, before continuing in a south-easterly direction to the interchange with [Princes Motorway](/source/Princes_Motorway) at Bulli Tops, in the [Illawarra](/source/Illawarra) region just north of Bulli.

## History

The passing of the *Main Roads Act of 1924*[3] through the [Parliament of New South Wales](/source/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](/source/Department_of_Main_Roads_(New_South_Wales)), and eventually [Transport for NSW](/source/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](/source/Princes_Highway) near the top of Bull Pass (and continuing north along Campbelltown Road to the intersection with [Hume Highway](/source/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]
