The long-awaited Lake Macquarie Transport Interchange is about to make a small but significant step towards becoming a reality.
The $25-million stage one, section one road linking Main Road Cardiff with the Glendale retail precinct is set to open in May.
Section two of the project involves the construction of a 3-span bridge over the Sydney to Newcastle rail line at Pennant Street, Cardiff.
Lake Macquarie Council has set aside $6-million for this part of the project and hopes the state and federal governments will contribute the remaining $26-million needed to build it.
Once this stage is built the attention can turn to building the $120-million interchange at Glendale.
