en.Wedoany.com Reported - A $6.7 million traffic signal upgrade at the intersection of Pacific Highway and Chain Valley Bay Road on the Central Coast of Australia has been fully completed and is now operational. The project reflects the New South Wales Government's commitment to improving road safety in regional areas, where accidents are often more severe.

The upgraded intersection will provide safer and more reliable conditions for thousands of motorists daily. Key additions include traffic signals, a dedicated right-turn lane and combined left-right turning lane when exiting Chain Valley Bay Road, an extended right-turn lane on the Pacific Highway southbound into Chain Valley Bay Road, as well as new pedestrian crossings and cycling infrastructure. Construction began in May 2025 and was completed in June 2026.

Yasmin Catley, Member for Swansea, stated that the upgrade was announced at the intersection a year ago, and now the signals are operational, demonstrating tangible project delivery. She noted that the intersection had long been a bottleneck for local residents, and the upgrade makes it safer and more predictable for all road users.

Local community travel will be more convenient, including new signal-controlled pedestrian crossings, cycle paths and footpaths, as well as improved public transport connections. The upgrade will also support future development in the area, helping to unlock land for more than 900 new homes while improving connectivity for residents and visitors.
