Project description
This project involves scoping and development of upgrades to John Renshaw Drive including grade separation at the intersection of the M1 Motorway and Weakleys Drive, Beresfield.
There are currently major travel time delays along the corridors of the M1 Pacific Motorway, John Renshaw Drive, Weakleys Drive and New England Highway. These delays are driven by high traffic volumes, lack of capacity, multiple traffic signals, and congestion.
The scoped upgrades once delivered will reduce congestion at the key network junction that services the Port of Newcastle.
Benefits
- Planning and design of future public investments.
- Improved road safety for all road users.
- Reduced congestion and improve travel times.
- Improved efficiency and network reliability.
Funding
The Australian Government has committed $12 million to this project.
Timetable
The delivery schedule will be determined in consultation with the NSW Government.
