Safety works aimed at improving travel for freight operators and road users along the Central Coast Highway in New South Wales have now been finished.
The NSW Government provided $2.4 million from the Safer Roads Program to upgrade a section of the Central Coast Highway between Brisbane Water Drive Interchange, Point Clare and Woy Woy Road at Kariong Hill.
The work, which began in February, included line marking, installation of new guard rails, signage and vehicle activated signs.
“This safety upgrade is a win for motorists, visitors and freight operators travelling to, through and around the Central Coast,” said Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch.
“With new line marking and guard rails installation, all road users will benefit from a safer and more reliable section of road.
“I’m proud to be part of a government that’s funding projects that will save lives and improve the commute of the thousands of people who use the Central Coast Highway each day.”
By providing a stronger and safer road network for the 37,000 motorists which use this section of road on a daily basis, the improvements are expected to reduce accidents.
“The Central Coast is a rapidly growing area which is why we need road upgrades such as these,” said Minister for the Central Coast, David Harris.
“This improvement work will make a big difference helping to reduce crashes and that’s going to help motorists not only be safer but feel safer while driving on this busy section of road.”
