The community and stakeholders are being urged to have their say on the strategic design for the proposed upgrade of Empire Bay Drive, The Scenic Road and Cochrone St at Kincumber.
Member for Terrigal, Mr Adam Crouch, said the NSW Government allocated $1.5 million to continue developing the design to install traffic lights and widen the road to provide additional lanes at the intersection.
“The proposed upgrade would reduce congestion and improve traffic flow and travel times for the 25,000 motorists travelling along Empire Bay Dve each day,” Mr Crouch said.
“The Scenic Rd would now be widened to provide two right turn lanes onto Empire Bay Dve which would improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.”
To allow for the new intersection layout, parking in the road shoulder on Cochrone Street near the intersection will be restricted and bus stops on each side of Empire Bay Drive would be relocated.
The community is invited to attend a drop-in session on May 4 at Kincumber Public School hall to speak with the project team, provide feedback and learn more about the project.
