A dozen new road safety projects are to be completed through the State Government’s Safer Roads Program.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Adam Crouch, said more than $1.43M would be invested on upgrades, including road surface improvements, signage and median strips.
“Regional areas like the Central Coast have higher rates of road crashes and fatalities, which is why this million dollar road safety boost is so important,” Crouch said.
“These 12 new safety projects stretch from one end of the Central Coast to the other, and I am pleased that every electorate is receiving its fair share of funding.”
Member of the Legislative Council, Taylor Martin, said the new projects were in addition to a $300M investment in Coast roads over the last two years.
New projects receiving funding during the next financial year include: Wyong Rd, Reliance Dr and Bryant Dr intersection, vehicle-activated signage, $232,000; Pacific Hwy and Cutler Dr, Watanobbi, raised islands, new stop signs, $229,000; Old Maitland Rd, Mardi, vehicle-activated signage, high friction pavement, motorcycle underrun barrier and curve alignment markers, $100,000; Alison Rd, Wyong, raised safety platform at intersection, $50,000; and, Wyong and Bundilla Rds, Glenning Valley, traffic signal upgrade, $47,000.
