Group calls for Bulls Hill bypass

The Bays Community Group has called for a bypass of Bulls Hill in Woy Woy Rd, after the road re-opened on August 22.

Group president Mr Bob Puffett said he had written to representatives at all levels of government for a feasibility study and construction of a bypass road.

Mr Puffett said the community had suffered from the "dangerous and problem-ridden" section of Woy Woy Rd at Bulls Hill for long enough and it demanded a long-term solution to ease traffic congestion in and out of the Peninsula.

"Woy Woy Rd was constructed some 100 years ago when traffic was non-existent and the need for a major roadway servicing the Coast, its people and our visitors was not envisaged," Mr Puffet wrote.

"Prior to the collapse, Woy Woy Rd carried more than 15,000 vehicles daily, including people going to and from work, school and extra-curricular activities, deliveries, servicing businesses and providing vital access for tourists to this beautiful part of the Coast.

"An alternate route that by-passes Bulls Hill on Woy Woy Rd would provide a number of benefits to the entire Peninsula community and its visitors."

Mr Puffett said The Bays Community Group committee had come up with a proposed route for consideration in the construction of a bypass road.
