Wyong Road is the major road linking the Pacific Motorway (Sydney to Newcastle Freeway) with Wyong, Tuggerah, The Entrance and surrounding coastal suburbs. The previous roundabout at the intersection of Wyong Road and the Pacific Highway had a history of crashes and traffic was heavily congested during peak hours. Around 55,000 vehicles travel through the intersection each day.
- Improve safety and traffic flow
- Reduce travel times
- Improve connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists.
The NSW Government allocated $84 million for the upgrade, with the key changes including:
- upgrading the intersection from a roundabout to traffic lights
- three lanes in each direction on Wyong Road
- three right turn lanes from the Pacific Highway to Wyong Road, towards the M1 Motorway
- two right turn lanes from Wyong Road to the Pacific Highway, towards Wyong
- two left turn lanes from Wyong Road to the Pacific Highway, towards Wyong
- a new bridge next to the existing railway bridge to cater for eastbound traffic
- extension of the existing shared pathway.
