Safety improvement works have wrapped up on City Road (Pacific Highway) in New South Wales, following the early completion of two intersection upgrades.
Motorists in Highfields and Adamstown Heights can now expect eased congestion and increased safety across the intersections at Kahibah Road Highfields and Northcott Drive Adamstown Heights across City Road (Pacific Highway).
The intersection upgrades, funded through the Hunter Pinch Points Program, involved extending right turn lanes, building new left turn lanes on City Road (Pacific Highway), adding an extra right turn lane out of Kahibah Road and widening sections of the road to improve traffic flows.
The Northcott Drive intersection works also included the installation of new safety barriers, improved drainage, repaired existing walls, upgraded electrical components and relocated services.
Minister for Regional Roads Sam Farraway said the project supported 75 jobs during the construction period.
“City Road is a vital transport, tourist and freight route which is used by about 6000 vehicles per hour at this location, including 150 heavy vehicles,” Farraway said.
“The upgraded intersections are now open to traffic, and we can now complete work on a new crossing connecting to a new ramp and existing footpath across Northcott Drive, and complete improvements to the existing City Road pedestrian crossing.”
