Status In planningAustralian Government Contribution400 millionFunding Program Investment road and rail programTransport Mode RoadState NswExpected StartFinish Late 2022 - late 2026This project involves upgrades along the princes highway between jervis bay road and hawken road. It will form part of broader upgrades to the 20 kilometre section of the highway between jervis bay road and sussex inlet road which is predominantly an undivided road one lane in each direction with limited overtaking opportunities and significant increases in traffic volumes during peak tourist periods. This situation has resulted in a poor safety history with 126 crashes including five fatal crashes and 42 serious injury crashes on this section of the highway between 2014 and 2018. These upgrades will provide a safer corridor for all transport users and support increased capacity and traffic efficiency. This project is expected to start construction in late 2022 and be finished construction by late 2026.
