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?

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.

Transport for NSW is following NSW Health advice and has moved community information sessions for the Princes Highway upgrade projects online in response to the Coronavirus outbreak. 

Live online Q&A sessions will be hosted online for each project on Monday, 6 April and each session will run for about 30 minutes.

FACEBOOK LIVE SESSION

Listening to the community’s questions and providing answers is an important step in moving forward with building a safer and more reliable Princes Highway between Jervis Bay Road and the Victorian border.  We hope our communities leave better informed about the projects and better equipped to send their valuable comments and feedback.

All feedback must be submitted by Monday, 13 April by visiting princeshighway.nsw.gov.au or emailing princeshighway@transport.nsw.gov.au.
