1517 - NEWCASTLE INNER CITY BYPASS

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Transport representing the Minister for Roads and Ports

Will the Government commence building the Newcastle Inner City bypass in 2012 to alleviate road traffic chaos?
Answer -

I am advised:

Stage 4 of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass between Shortland and Sandgate is currently being built and is expected to open to traffic by the end of 2013.

A route corridor for Stage 5 of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass has been identified and has been protected in the Newcastle City Council Local Environmental Plan.

Priority is being given to completing the Hunter Expressway and intersection upgrades between the F3 Freeway and Newcastle, as well as the planning of the duplication of Cormorant Road and Tourle Street in the longer term.

The NSW Government is also funding the Hunter Infrastructure and Investment Fund in the amount of $350 million.

This represents a large investment in the Hunter Region over the first term of this government.

Funding for future road projects, like stage 5 of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass between Rankin Park and Jesmond, will be considered along with other infrastructure projects across the State.
