Early Christmas gift as Belford to Golden Highway upgrade wraps up major work

Published

Christmas has arrived early for Upper Hunter motorists travelling on the New England Highway at Belford with major upgrade work now complete at the Golden Highway intersection. 

The upgrade included building a new dual carriageway and flyover bridge for motorists turning right from the Golden Highway. 

The upgrade includes an access road for nearby properties on the Golden Highway, plus a new left-turn lane for motorists travelling towards Singleton that connects to the new roundabout on the Golden Highway. Motorists will notice some minor work in the new year to finalise the project including line marking, sign installation and revegetation work. A reduced speed restriction will remain in place until this work is completed.
