Princes Highway Upgrade, KirraweeRoads and Maritime Services | October 2018

Oak Road intersection eastbound

The NSW Government is funding this project as part of its program to ease congestion and improve travel times on Sydney’s busiest corridors.

Roads and Maritime Services is making improvements to the intersection of Princes Highway with Kingsway, Oak Road and Acacia Road, and the intersection of the Acacia Road with President Avenue to help improve traffic flow, travel times and safety for all road users.

There are currently high volumes of vehicles travelling in both directions on President Avenue and Princes Highway. Delays are often caused by turning vehicles blocking through traffic. This project aims to ease congestion at these intersections and improve journey reliability for all road users.

Project benefits The benefits of the improvement include

• Improved operation of Princes Highway along the corridor and at the intersections with Acacia Road, Oak Road, Kingsway and President Avenue

• Improved safety at the intersections, with a reduction in the number of rear-end crashes and crashes involving motorists changing lanes

• Reduced traffic delays and a better flow of traffic for motorists at all points along the corridor.

Traffic changesThe right turn from Princes Highway onto Oak Road will be permanently closed in both directions, beginning at the upcoming traffic switch.

There will be other temporary traffic changes during our night work to ensure the work zone is safe. Speed limits during night work will be reduced to 40 kilometres per hour.

Please keep to speed limits and follow signs and traffic controllers’ directions. To minimise disruption there will be no lane closures or speed limit changes during day work.

How will the work affect you?We will do everything that we can to minimise the impact of the work, including completing noisier tasks by midnight and staging them in different locations.

There may be restricted access to some properties during work hours. Access will be managed by traffic control staff for residents and businesses. Pedestrian and cycle access will be maintained during the work.
