2593 - JOHN HUNTER HOSPITAL AND HUNTER MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE CONGESTION

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Transport and Roads

Considering that for three days this week it has taken staff up to two hours to exit the John Hunter Hospital and Hunter Medical Research Institute shared campus, what efforts are being made to help staff to alleviate congestion in the area?

 
Answer -

I am advised:

Transport for NSW is working with Health Infrastructure to upgrade the Jacaranda Drive intersection to improve access to the John Hunter Hospital.

Transport for NSW is also collaborating with Health Infrastructure on the John Hunter Hospital Improvement project, to ensure future infrastructure upgrades include improvements for public transport access in and out of the health precinct and improve traffic congestion.

Detailed design has also commenced on the Rankin Park to Jesmond project. The 3.4 kilometre bypass will be built between Rankin Park and Jesmond to the west of the John Hunter Hospital. This will provide traffic relief to the surrounding road network, in particular the existing route of Lookout Road, Croudace Street and Newcastle Road.

Information about the Rankin Park to Jesmond project can be found at:
