Motorists will soon benefit from improved safety upgrades as two major programs in the state’s south, the Kings and Monaro highway upgrades (PDF, 134.09 KB), reach their final stages.

South-east of Braidwood, the final stage of the $20 million Kings Highway upgrade program is getting underway this week and will deliver a safer road between Batemans Bay and the NSW/ACT border.

This project will deliver flexible safety barriers for three kilometres on both sides of the highway south-east of Braidwood.

The final stage of the $20 million Monaro Highway upgrade program will start with preparation work north of Bombala from Monday 23 June, weather permitting, and will deliver further safety improvements aimed at helping motorists make it home safely every time.

This project will deliver wider lanes, widened centre line, audio tactile line marking (also known as rumble strips) and flexible roadside safety barrier at various points between Burnima Road and 600 metres north of Rifle Range Road, and will include the installation and upgrade of new and existing drainage culverts.

The final project on the Kings Highway will be completed by the end of July, while the final project on the Monaro Highway is expected to be completed by 30 June 2026, weather permitting.
