Milton Ulladulla bypass

Preferred option survey

About the project

A Milton Ulladulla bypass would deliver safer and more reliable journeys between South Coast communities and ease congestion especially during peak holiday periods. A Milton and Ulladulla bypass would significantly reduce travel time, particularly in holiday periods, by removing the need for vehicles to pass through multiple intersections. Transport for NSW is progressing with plans and has identified the existing bypass corridor in the Shoalhaven Local Environmental Plan (LEP) as the preferred strategic corridor option avoiding greater impacts to the native vegetation and wetlands.

This option would maximise the amount of traffic using the bypass, including heavy vehicles, and provide the most opportunities to connect to town centres, businesses, services, homes and local roads compared to other options assessed. This would provide smoother and more reliable journeys day-to-day throughout the community. It would also provide opportunities to enhance the character and liveability of the area, support sustainable economic growth and improve safety for transport users. This option would have lower impacts to environmentally sensitive areas, avoiding greater impacts to native vegetation and wetlands.

The consultation period will be extended until Sunday 14 February 2021 and we are encouraging locals and visitors to have their say. We are also carrying out additional traffic data collection throughout Milton, Ulladulla Burrill Lake and Lake Tabourie over the summer holiday period to better understand how the transport network operates over the peak holiday period.

Feedback received to date has focused on why the preferred strategic corridor option was chosen and what effects a bypass would have on traffic through local townships. This table compares the preferred strategic corridor and other corridor options which bypass Burrill Lake and Lake Tabourie.

Safety Improvements

Once complete, the Princes Highway upgrade will significantly improve safety for road users. Major upgrades typically have long lead times so we are focused on delivering road safety improvements in the short term while major upgrades are in development to immediately reduce the risk and severity of crashes. These safety improvements will be delivered between Nowra and the Victorian border as part of the Saving Lives on Country Roads program.


What is planned?

  • Provide median separation
  • Install safety barriers in medians, where possible
  • Widen shoulders to at least two metres, or as far as practical
  • Install rumble strips on edge and centre lines
  • Install right turn bays to reduce the risk of rear-end crashes while also
  • improving separation between oncoming traffic
  • Install roadside safety barriers on curves and in front of hazardous obstacles
  • Install electronic vehicle activated signs which activate when drivers
  • approach sections of road and curves at unsafe speeds.
Cost: $11.14 million

Major upgrades

The Princes Highway helps drive the state’s third largest regional economy, is relied upon by over five hundred thousand locals and welcomes almost four million tourists each year.  

Since 2011, the Australian and NSW governments have invested $2.5 billion upgrading the Princes Highway to create safer and more efficient journeys along the South Coast of NSW.  This investment is transforming the region, improving safety, connecting communities, easing traffic congestion and growing regional economies.  

  Considerable work has already been completed, with more major projects underway. 

The benefits of these major upgrades include improved safety, better local access, more reliable journeys, and more efficient and reliable freight movement.  

In March 2019, the Australian and NSW governments committed to upgrade the Princes Highway between Nowra and the Victorian border, completing the full upgrade of the Princes Highway. More than $1.5 billion has been committed so far to achieving this. We continue to work with local communities, businesses and stakeholders to determine the priorities and timing of these upgrades.
