Hawken Road to Sussex Inlet Road upgrade - Princes Highway upgrade program
Project overview
Transport for NSW continues planning for safer and more reliable journeys on the NSW South Coast. Projects along the Princes Highway corridor between Nowra and the Victorian border are progressing with the Australian and NSW governments committing $1.9 billion for planning and delivery of projects.

In March 2020, the Princes Highway upgrade between Jervis Bay Road and Sussex Inlet Road was identified as a project, and in November 2020, the preferred strategic corridor for the 20 kilometre section was announced.
In early 2021, the Australian Government committed $400 million and the NSW government committed $100 million to the project.
In November 2021, the section of the Princes Highway between Jervis Bay Road and Hawken Road was identified as the highest priority of the planned 20-kilometre upgrade. This part of the upgrade will progress first.
Planning for the section of the Princes Highway between Hawken Road and Sussex Inlet Road continues. As part of our continued planning, investigations such as environmental, Aboriginal and non Aboriginal cultural heritage studies, traffic and network efficiencies, together with identifying customer and freight needs are being carried out.
At this stage of planning, impacts to properties have not been determined. More information about the project will be shared with the community as the project progresses.
