Community survey on intersection upgrade

Community feedback is being sought on the proposed 2-million dollar upgrade on Newcastle Road at Lambton to improve traffic flow and safety.

The design includes installing traffic lights with pedestrian crossings at the Lloyd Road intersection, and providing right turn access from Newcastle Road onto Morehead Street.

The call follows an alarming statistic, in the five years to June last year there were 47 crashes on the stretch of road, which resulted in 17 injuries.
