Roads and Maritime Services completed an upgrade of Nelson Bay Road from Bobs Farm to Anna Bay in 2015. The final stage of the upgrade involved reconstructing the existing carriageway and building a second carriageway between Cromarty Lane, Bobs Farm and Port Stephens Drive roundabout, Anna Bay.
Project information
Construction started in August 2013 and was completed on 18 May 2015. For more information about the completion of the upgrade, read the May 2015 media release.
