Plans are underway to upgrade a major stretch of road in Warner's Bay after the famous Hillsborough road has so far claimed over several lives.
The road is now in the spotlight and under pressure as plans of progression for the fixes have failed to meet the deadline for its upgrades.
Local MP’s are imploring the state government to put its plans to improve pedestrian and commuter safety into motion as results of the study were expected to be released late last year.
Around $4 million was allocated in the NSW State Budget papers to plan the widening of Hillsborough road, but Lake Macquarie MP, Greg Piper, is worried the plans have fallen off the radar for priority works to be done.
Piper says, "I'm calling on the State Government to provide the necessary funding for the RMS to start work on that area".
"We really need to make it a priority for pedestrians to cross the roads safely", he says.
