In a big win for road users, $5 million will allow work to begin on the construction of the Termeil Creek deviation before Christmas.
The project received the largest allocation in the South Coast electorate in yesterday’s budget and will see the realignment of 1.6 kilometres of the Princes Highway, improving safety and delivering a new, wider bridge over Termeil Creek.
Member for South Coast Shelley Hancock said works will also include measures to protect water quality and crossings for native animals both above and below the new road.
“This is a significant achievement for residents and motorists of the Southern Shoalhaven and I am pleased to have been able to commence construction on this vital road safety project within three years of coming to government,” she said.
She said the funds would pay for the first stage, with more money needed to complete the project.
