Final work on the Gosford bypass is powering ahead, with traffic surveys being carried out along the Pacific Hwy and Manns Rd corridor in recent weeks.
Work on the bypass route has been completed from Ourimbah to Parsons Rd at Lisarow in the north, and in the south from the Central Coast Hwy at West Gosford to Stockyard Pl.
The NSW Government has invested $40M towards planning and development of a proposed major upgrade on the remaining corridor, which carries up to 30,000 vehicles each day from the Ourimbah Interchange through to the Central Coast Hwy.
Transport for NSW will deliver shorter-term improvements such as new and upgraded footpaths and shared pathways and access to bus stops along the remaining 7.2km of the corridor, while also confirming a longer-term strategy for future major upgrades.
Delivery of any upgrades for the Gosford bypass, including any property acquisition, will depend on gaining project and funding approvals.
Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said Gosford was the heart of the Central Coast and ensuring motorists could move smoothly in and around the area was a key part of the NSW Government’s vision for the region.
“Coasties deserve better than bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Pacific Hwy each day and I’m looking forward to the NSW Government making this happen after the investigations and planning works are carried out,” she said.
Member for The Entrance David Mehan said residents could rest assured this project would not get stuck in development for decades.
“I’m determined to see better roads and smoother traffic all the way from West Gosford to Ourimbah,” he said.
