Site establishment works are set to begin next week for the $65.5 million upgrade of the Central Coast Highway and Tumbi Road intersection, which is the first phase of the wider upgrade of the Central Coast Highway from Wamberal to Bateau Bay.
Shadow Minister for the Central Coast Adam Crouch said the announcement would be welcome news for frustrated commuters following lengthy delays and funding delays under the Minns Labor Government.
“Despite the countless delays caused by the Minns Labor Government, local commuters now have some certainty that this $65.5 million project, funded under the former Liberal-National Government, is getting underway.”
While this is great news for commuters, it is a shame that this project has taken so long to get to this stage.” said Mr Crouch.
Works will occur throughout June, which includes installation of concrete safety barriers and signage, site investigation and surveys, vegetation clearing, environmental controls and establishment of a site compound.
“During these site establishment works we expect to see some night works, traffic control and lane closures as well as a reduced 40km/h speed limit in some instances from the 2nd of June to the 30th of June, weather permitting.”
“I want to thank the community in advance for their patience with these temporary works, and we should only see some minor traffic delays during the nightwork.” said Mr Crouch.
