Baird Government Urged To Rethink Bypass

The state government is facing growing calls to amend its plans for the final stage of the Newcastle  Inner City Bypass.

Hunter New England Health has now weighed in, saying a full interchange from the Bypass to the John Hunter Hospital would be much better than the half interchange which has been proposed.

Under the current design, only vehicles coming from the north will be able to get to the hospital from the bypass - traffic from the south will still need to use the busy Lookout Road.
