Woy Woy Rd limit returns to 80k

Woy Woy Rd has seen the return of its 80km/h speed zone after road works were completed recently.

Gosford Council's manager of engineering services Mr John Cragg said the black spot project just south of Kariong was now finished with advisory speed signs continuing to apply at various bends along the road.

"The reshaping and resurfacing of the carriageway will enhance safety along a section of road with a poor crash record in both wet and dry conditions," Mr Cragg said.

"Woy Woy Rd is a critical element of the regional road network and the safety improvements now implemented are expected to pay dividends to the community in the future."

A 60 km/h speed limit has been enforced along a two-kilometre section of Woy Woy Rd for more than a year while funding was secured for the road works.
