Plan now for bypass

Both Labor and the Coalition have promised $500,000 to fix the highway from Jervis Bay Road south. This is, of course, a project that will take many years to roll out. A matter of urgency is provision for a much safer right hand turn out of Jervis Bay Road. You can do all the improvements of the highway, like south where the four lanes merge but you still will have Nowra as a choke point. South of the Shoalhaven River bridge there are seven sets of traffic lights and six roundabouts before you leave South Nowra. It is urgent the Nowra/Bomaderry bypass planning is fast tracked on the identified services corridor beginning south of Meroo and crossing the Shoalhaven near Nowra Zoo. Then as Stage one, the bypass should be planned to meet the highway near the BTU Road. Stage two could, at a later time connect to Main Road 92 from where the bypass turned to the east.
