As part of its State Budget announcements, the NSW Government announced it would deliver a record investment into regional roads and transport in 2022-23, with the commitment totalling $10.6 billion with Shoalhaven and South Coast projects mentioned.
The government announced:
- $100.8 million to continue upgrades along the Princes Highway, including construction on South Batemans Bay Link Road, and on the jointly funded new Nowra Bridge
- $52.5 million to continue the transformation of the Princes Highway from south of Nowra to the Victorian border, along with jointly funded planning and delivery to improve safety, travel times and freight efficiency of Jervis Bay Road Intersection, Jervis Bay to Sussex Inlet Upgrade and the Milton-Ulladulla Bypass and
- $38.4 million to continue construction of the Nelligen Bridge Replacement project on the Kings Highway over the Clyde River.
Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway said the NSW Government was securing a brighter future for families by building what matters to make daily life better.
"More than ever before, this year's Budget is about investing in projects that better connect regional communities for generations to come," Mr Farraway said.
"Regional NSW has been challenged by natural disasters and the pandemic, so I know that our transport planning and delivery needs to be agile and adaptable to better respond to changes in commuter needs and travel patterns."
