The State Government says the Hillsborough Road upgrade has hit an important milestone with construction tenders being called for stage one of the project.
The $35 million build will include improvements stretching from the Inner-City Bypass roundabout to the west of Crockett Street.
Transport for NSW says it’s looking to grant the contract for construction to begin early next year. The project is predicted to take 18 months to duplicate the road on a 700 metre stretch and put in new traffic lights at Crockett Street.
Charlestown MP Jodie Harrison says it should improve travel times.
“The 36,000 motorists who use Hillsborough Road daily can look forward to more reliable journeys, with improved traffic flow, safety, and accessibility for all road users,” she said.
