en.Wedoany.com Reported - Significant progress has been made on the upgrade of the intersection between Jervis Bay Road and the Princes Highway in Australia. From June 1, southbound freight vehicles and motorists will be the first to use the newly constructed overpass, with northbound motorists to follow suit in the subsequent days.

With a total investment of AUD 164 million and a cumulative 472,000 hours of work by 110 workers, the project is expected to be operational by early 2027, nearly a year ahead of the original completion date set for the end of 2027.

The upgraded interchange will allow motorists and freight vehicles to merge onto the Princes Highway after passing continuously beneath the bridge, effectively alleviating traffic congestion in the area. The new bridge will open in two phases over the coming week, with southbound lanes opening first on June 1, featuring two lanes in each direction; northbound vehicles will be diverted onto the new bridge starting June 3.

Furthermore, the new southbound exit ramp will open simultaneously, providing motorists with more convenient access to Jervis Bay Road via the eastern roundabout. This road serves as a crucial link to Huskisson and the surrounding bays and villages. However, due to ongoing construction on the western roundabout, the right turn from the Princes Highway onto Jervis Bay Road will be closed for the coming months. During this period, motorists will need to detour via Comberton Grange Road. Construction on the western roundabout and the associated local road network will continue, and upon completion of the entire interchange upgrade, safe and efficient travel in all directions will be achieved.
