The first stage of work on the Northern Beaches Hospital road upgrade in New South Wales has begun.
“This important milestone signifies the NSW Government is getting on with the job of improving infrastructure to support the new hospital,” said Minister for Roads Duncan Gay in a statement.
“The $500 million project will supply essential road access to the hospital and reduce congestion for road users in the area.
“Seeing this work starting will be great because it means we are getting closer to delivering benefits such as improved safety and reduced travel times to motorists.”
Work will start at the intersection of Wakehurst Parkway and Frenchs Forest Road and will involve removing trees and vegetation, rock excavation and road surface work.
The upgrades will ensure the community has easy access to the new Northern Beaches Hospital when it opens in 2018.
