Residents and stakeholders have been invited to have their say on a concept design and the Review of Environmental Factors (REF) this month for an upgrade of two Blackwall Rd intersections.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Adam Crouch, said the NSW Government is providing up to $19M to improve travel time and safety for local road users by upgrading the Allfield Rd and Farnell Rd intersections.
“Blackwall Rd is used by up to 18,000 motorists each day and provides an essential link between Woy Woy and Memorial Avenue,” Crouch said.
“This area continues to grow and attract new residents, which is why we have acted now to improve safety and traffic flow for road users.
“Upgrading these intersections will reduce peak time congestion and encourage people to walk and ride by providing safer pedestrian and cyclist facilities.
“Both sets of upgraded traffic lights will be coordinated to allow traffic to flow smoothly along Blackwall Road.”
Transport for NSW will hold an online information session in late November where the community will have the opportunity to discuss any questions or concerns with the project team.
The community is encouraged to provide feedback on the concept design and REF, which are available to view at nswroads.work/blackwall-road-intersection-upgrades.
Feedback may be submitted via email at central.coast.office@transport.nsw.gov.au.
Transport for NSW will carefully consider all feedback and will prepare a report detailing submissions and responses to be published in early 2022.
Crouch said the community and stakeholders will be kept informed as the project progresses.
