Motorists will benefit from safer, smoother and more reliable journeys on the Central Coast Highway between Point Clare and the West Gosford Lookout on Kariong Hill, with safety improvement work now completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NSW Government provided $2.4 million from the Safer Roads Program to upgrade a section of the Central Coast Highway between Brisbane Water Drive Interchange, Point Clare, and Woy Woy Road at Kariong Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The work included line marking, installation of new guard rails, signage and vehicle activated signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transport for NSW started work in February 2024 and completed the safety improvements in June 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is another example of the NSW Labor Government continuing with its commitment to improve safety on our regional and rural roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
