Transport for NSW has released the preferred option for a major safety and efficiency upgrade of the Princes Highway.
The upgrade will take place from Jervis Bay Road to Hawken Road, between Falls Creek and Tomerong.
A Transport for NSW spokesperson said the $500 million Princes Highway upgrade program will deliver a more efficient and connected transport network.
“Upgrading the Princes Highway between Jervis Bay Road and Hawken Road will improve safety for all Transport customers, improve traffic and freight efficiency, as well as connections to regional centres and services,” the spokesperson said.
The upgrade will feature a realignment of the existing highway and widening from two lanes to a four-lane divided highway with median separation, as well as a major intersection at Hawken Road.
“The preferred option will provide greater connectivity for the local community and visitors, featuring an s-type grade separated intersection (or overpass), as well as service roads to connect properties,” the spokesperson said.
A report outlining how the preferred option for the upgrade of the Princes Highway between Jervis Bay Road and Hawken Road, including the intersection type for Hawken Road and the Princes Highway, is available here.
The report summarises the options that were considered and the criteria used to select the preferred option.
Transport for NSW is encouraging the community to provide feedback on the preferred option to help refine the design and prepare the Review of Environmental Factors (REF).
The REF and concept design are expected to be available for comment by early 2024.
Feedback can be submitted to jb2si@transport.nsw.gov.au or 1800 570 567.
