Pacific Highway upgrade at Lisarow moving ahead

Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) is now inviting registrations of interest to tender for the Pacific Highway upgrade at Lisarow, which will see the highway between Parsons Road and Ourimbah Street upgraded two lanes in each direction.

A RMS spokesperson said the New South Wales Government has allocated $9 million this financial year for the project, which also involves upgrading existing traffic lights at The Ridgeway, installing new traffic lights at the Railway Crescent and Tuggerah Street intersections.

“The upgrade also includes building a new bridge across the rail line to replace the existing narrow bridge near Railway Crescent,” said the spokesperson.

“In addition to widening the Pacific Highway and upgrading intersections, work will also involve improving pedestrian and cycle paths along and across the highway,” the spokesperson said.

According to the spokesperson, RMS will shortlist registrations of interest based on tenderer capability before an invitation to tender on the associated work is invited.

Prospective tenderers are required to complete a Registration of Interest document in full, including any required supporting documentation, and lodging it by 2.30pm on 8 November 2017 via the E-Tender website.
