The M4 cycleway is a 15-kilometre-long (9.3 mi)shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians that is generally aligned with the M4 Motorway in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The eastern terminus of the cycleway is in the Sydney Olympic Park, while the western terminus is in South Wentworthville.
With an extensive network of on-road and shared paths located within Sydney Olympic Park, the cycleways eastern terminus is on Australia Avenue and continues west via the Holker Busway where the shared busway and on-road cycleway cross the Haslams Creek and meet with Hill Road. From this junction in Newington, several options are available to meet the north-south shared pedestrian and cycle path, the Louise Sauvage Pathway, shared with the cycleway, as it heads south and follows the western bank of Haslams Creek which can be hazardous at points of high tide. The path goes under the M4 and enters Lidcombe, initially as a segregated path and then joins Adderley Street East before joining a major intersection with Silverwater Road (A6), with traffic exiting the M4 from the east and entering the M4, heading west and limited cyclist and pedestrian protection on the traffic island.
The path continues along Adderley Street West, from Silverwater into Auburn, climbing to a roundabout at Stubbs Street, subject to heavy flows during peak traffic times. As the path continues further west it passes the former Roads & Maritime Services' toll plaza. The main path crosses the Duck River and continues further west. A spur path leads south, to the Great Western Highway (A44).
