Transport for NSW is delivering safer and more reliable journeys on the South Coast by progressing with the intersection upgrade as part of the Princes Highway upgrade.
The intersection has the highest volume of vehicle movements on the highway between Nowra and the border with Victoria and has been the location of 15 crashes in the past five years, resulting in six serious and 11 minor injuries. A safer and more reliable intersection is our priority.

A grade separated interchange, or flyover, was identified as the preferred option in November 2020 and displayed for community consultation. Consultation closed on Sunday 20 December 2020.
More informationIn 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.

Project information
A grade separated interchange, or flyover, with roundabouts on either side was identified as the preferred option for the Jervis Bay Road and Princes Highway intersection upgrade in November 2020.
This decision followed a thorough planning, investigation and development process including a value management workshop attended by key stakeholders and technical specialists. It was determined the preferred option would achieve the proposal objectives, was the safest option and would provide the best results for congestion, resilience and connectivity compared to other options assessed.
The project Review of Environmental Factors (REF) and concept design is now available for viewing by the public. Community feedback on the REF and concept design is open until Sunday 18 July 2021.
If you would like to provide feedback click here to head to our interactive portal. You can also provide feedback by calling 1800 570 562 or emailing jervisbayroad@transport.nsw.gov.au.
Transport for NSW will collate and consider the submissions received during the public display of the REF and prepare a submissions report.
Feedback received will help further refine the design of the proposal and we will keep the community updated as the proposal progresses. Early work is on track to start in late 2022. Submissions must be received by Sunday 18 July 2021.
