Intersection upgrade funded

The NSW Government will provide $10 million for the upgrade of the Central Coast Hwy at the intersection of Brisbane Water Dr and Manns Rd, West Gosford.

"The proposed upgrade will improve safety at the intersection and reduce congestion on the road network," said Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews.

"The Central Coast Highway provides the major road link between the F3 Freeway and Gosford, Erina and the coastal suburbs," she said.

Ms Andrews said Brisbane Water Dr and Manns Rd provided vital access for residents of Woy Woy to Gosford, the Central Coast Highway and the F3 Freeway.

"The environmental impact assessment for the proposed upgrade has now been approved, after being displayed for community comment in July.

"The project can now move towards construction in 2011."

A bulletin detailing the preferred design will be available on the RTA website before Christmas, she said.

The information will also be distributed to local residents in the New Year, with copies available for viewing at the Gosford, Woy Woy and Erina Motor Registries.
