Work starts on West Gosford intersection

Preparatory works have begun on the $180 million upgrade of the West Gosford intersection of Brisbane Water Dr with the Central Coast Highway.

"The NSW Government provided $17 million this financial year towards the upgrade of this key Central Coast intersection, which provides important connections between the F3 Freeway, Gosford, the Peninsula, Woy Woy and Narara," said NSW Treasurer Mr Mike Baird.

"More than 75,000 vehicles travel through this intersection daily, making this section of the upgrade a particularly crucial one.

"Preliminary work before the main upgrade begins is under way, including demolition of buildings, clearing the site, relocating some of the utilities and carrying out initial drainage work," said Mr Baird.

Member for Gosford Mr Chris Holstein said tenders for the West Gosford intersection upgrade would be called this month with work scheduled to start later this year.

"The West Gosford intersection has, for the past 14 years, been a major issue for Central Coast motorists," said Mr Holstein.

"I thank the community in advance for their understanding and patience during the construction period as the ultimate outcome will benefit the entire Central Coast."
