Safety improvements are on the way for a section of the Newell Highway in Finley’s town centre in New South Wales.

The improvements are part of a collaborative effort between Transport for NSW and Berrigan Shire Council.

Cassandra Ffrench, New South Wales, Regional Director South for Transport for NSW, said the improvements are set to begin on Friday 16 May between Ulupna and Wollamai streets. They represent the first $2.1 million phase of a $10 million reconstruction program planned for the highway between Tongs and Atkinson streets.

“The work will include road resurfacing to deliver a smoother and safer highway and relocating the pedestrian crossing further away from the intersection of the Newell Highway with Pinnuck Street to improve safety,” said Ffrench.

“In response to community feedback, the existing raised medians will be removed, and parking reinstated in its place.”

Resurfacing will be carried out in a mixture of day and night shifts to limit impacts to the community and is expected to take up to two weeks.

Berrigan Shire Council will continue the project from early June, relocating the pedestrian crossing from near Pinnuck Street intersection to 50 metres further north along Murray Street, to improve safety.

The project, a joint investment between the Federal and New South Wales governments, will widen and strengthen 27.3 kilometres of road along four priority sections between Narrabri and Moree.

The upgrade involves building entirely new sections of road as well as five new overtaking lanes, two new heavy vehicle rest areas, intersection upgrades and multiple new bridge-sized culverts for improved drainage.
