Community invited to talk to Transport for NSW ahead of traffic changes on Coxs River Road Upgrade at Little Hartley
Transport for NSW will hold a pop-up information stall on Thursday 8 February for interested members of the public to learn about progress on the Coxs River Road Upgrade ahead of traffic being temporarily diverted onto a new section of road from Wednesday 14 February.
The pop-up will be held between 4pm and 6pm on 8 February outside Alchemy Pizza to allow community members to stop by and ask questions about this upcoming traffic switch.
On 14 February, both travel lanes of the Great Western Highway at Little Hartley will be temporarily diverted to a realigned section of the existing Great Western Highway near the Hartley Fresh café.
This will allow for essential work to continue on the construction of the new highway, and improvements to the Baaners Lane intersection.
Eastbound traffic will move onto the service road near the Hartley Fresh café and back onto the existing highway near Mead’s Farm.
Westbound traffic will move onto the service road near Mead’s Farm and back onto the existing highway west of the Hartley Fresh café.
Baaners Lane access will be via a link road across the closed existing highway. Access at the service road will be the same configuration as used at the current Baaners Lane intersection with Great Western Highway.
Browns Gap access will be directly onto the new service road.
In preparation for the traffic switch, work to install new line-marking around Browns Gap Road has started and motorists are advised that changed traffic conditions will be in place during work hours.
To minimise the impact on motorists, this work will be carried out at night between 8pm and 5am from Sunday night 4 February to Friday morning 9 February, weather permitting.
The overall Coxs River Road Upgrade involves widening and realigning 2.4 kilometres of the Great Western Highway into two lanes in each direction, providing a safer and more efficient road.
Funded by the NSW Government, construction began in April 2023 and is expected to be completed in 2025.
