Traffic switch delivers smoother ride for Bathurst 1000 fans
Thousands of motorsport fans descending on Mount Panorama for this year’s Bathurst 1000 will enjoy a smoother ride into town on the city’s eastern entry.
The Minns Labor Government is delivering a $73 million upgrade of the Great Western Highway between Kelso and Raglan for the benefit of local residents, tourists and freight operators travelling this key regional route.
Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Jenny Aitchison, said while the project endured multiple delays due to extreme weather and crews diverted to emergency projects across the state, it was now on track to be completed in time for the busy Christmas holiday period.
