Motorists in the St George area of Sydney are set to benefit with major works starting on a $130 million upgrade to a key stretch of King Georges Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These works form part of the first stage of the $160 million King Georges Road upgrade, which is jointly funded by the Australian and New South Wales governments on a 50:50 basis and will improve safety, reduce congestion and cut travel times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Work will commence between Stoney Creek Road at Beverly Hills and Forest Road at Hurstville to widen King Georges Road to three lanes in each direction separated by a concrete median.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will deliver better traffic flow while also boosting safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Major side road access changes will be implemented as part of the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Right-hand turns in and out of George, Dudley, Clarence and Warwick streets will be removed, while a new dedicated right-turn bay will be installed on King Georges Road southbound into Percival Street to reduce the risk of collisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A longer dedicated right-turn lane will also be provided on King Georges Road northbound for motorists turning right onto Stoney Creek Road to reduce the frequency of stoppages around this busy intersection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Work will be carried out from 8pm to 5am during the week, weather permitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The contract for major construction has been signed with Georgiou Group and completion is expected by late 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
