This follows the completion of the environmental assessment and review of feedback on the Review of Environmental Factors report and concept design.

Submission report released

Transport received 146 submissions on the concept design and environmental assessment in mid-2021. Feedback raised a number of considerations around traffic and safety impacts as well as other matters related to property, biodiversity and Aboriginal heritage.

Improvements following design changes and community feedback

The concept design includes a grade separated interchange, or flyover, with roundabouts on either side of Jervis Bay Road.

Following a review of feedback and more design work, important refinements have been made to the project.

These include:

• Better connection with the planned Princes Highway upgrade further south of the intersection
• Extension of the northbound on-ramp and merge length for safer entry to the Princes Highway
• Safer access to local roads including Old Princes Highway and Willowgreen Road
• Changes to improve wildlife connectivity.

Feedback is now being reviewed.

On Friday 2 July 2021, we held a 30 minute Facebook Live session with Princes Highway Program Director, Julian Watson, and Jervis Bay Road Intersection upgrade Project Development Manager, Nicole Moore, to answer your questions about the project.

Watch our recording of the session below:

We are analysing the community feedback received late last year and preparing a concept design and environmental assessment for the project. These will be on display for community feedback in 2021. Work on the intersection upgrade is on track to start in late 2022.

In consultations in March 2020, the community told us safety for transport users and less congestion are key priorities for an intersection upgrade. Transport investigated a range of options and determined the preferred option would be the safest option and provide the best results for congestion, resilience and connectivity compared to other options assessed.

Check out the community update (PDF, 409Kb) to view the preferred option.

For more information on how the preferred option was selected, read the preferred strategic corridor option report (PDF, 2.83Mb) and our Frequently Asked Questions (PDF, 532Kb).

On Friday 4 December, the project team hosted an online Q&A to answer questions on the preferred option. Watch Program Director, Paul Vecovski and Project Manager, Matthew Burns discuss the project and before having your say by Sunday 20 December.

Throughout the recent consultation period, the community told us what they value most when it comes to an upgraded intersection, with 62 per cent of respondents most valuing safety and 33 per cent prioritising reduced congestion.

We will consider all feedback and concerns alongside further traffic and transport modelling and environmental and field studies to help identify a preferred option. A preferred option will be identified and announced later this year.
