Lane opening relieves congestion

Gosford Council has asked road users to adhere to all signs, safety barriers and the posted speed limit while travelling in the re-opened lane on Woy Woy Rd.

The lane is open 24 hours a day to cars and motorcycles for one-way traffic travelling downhill, towards Woy Woy.

Council's director of city services Mr Stephen Glen stated that the reopening of one lane on May 1 had reduced traffic build-up on the entire Gosford City traffic network.

"(The) opening of the lane has relieved traffic congestion across the whole network," he said.

"We would like to remind road users that only cars and motorcycles are allowed on the lane that travels through the barriered site between Horsfield Rd and the Woy Woy Creek bridge.

"Pedestrians, cyclists, trucks or buses are not allowed access at this section of Woy Woy Rd.

"Residents who would normally travel up Woy Woy Rd to access other areas are advised to continue to use alternate routes and we ask that residents plan their journey and allow for extra time.

"We apologise for any inconvenience caused and would like to thank the community for their continued patience."
