The long-awaited upgrade of Avoca Dr through Kincumber is a step closer with the eTender to carry out the design and environmental impact assessment now being advertised.
The technical service will consist of preferred option selection, design development, environmental impact assessments, site investigations and specialist studies.
The federal and state governments are investing a combined $130M towards the upgrade.
Federal Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid said about 26,000 vehicles travelled through Kincumber on Avoca Dr every day, with heavy vehicles accounting for about six per cent of daily traffic.
“During peak travel times motorists experience congestion and slow travel times on Avoca Dr,” he said.
“This upgrade has been a long time coming and was overlooked by the former federal and state Liberal governments.
“During my 2022 election campaign, I doorknocked hundreds of houses in Kincumber and surrounding communities, and people told me how important it was that Avoca Dr received an upgrade.
“I will continue to update our community as works progress and encourage those interested in learning more to visit the Transport for NSW website for further details,” Reid said.
