Pedal to metal on funding for Pacific Highway upgrades

Dept of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications

The Australian Government is fast-tracking its commitment to upgrade one of the nation’s

busiest highways, accelerating $80 million in funding to the Pacific Highway – Wyong

Town Centre project.

The contribution will help the NSW Government to expedite delivery of this priority project on the Central Coast.

The $420 million project will upgrade the Pacific Highway through Wyong, duplicating the highway between Johnson Road and Cutler Drive.

The existing Wyong River road bridge will also be replaced with two new road bridges, increasing clearance heights for River Road and South Tacoma Road.

The Australian Government is contributing $336 million towards the project, with the NSW Government committing $84 million.

The works are currently in the planning phase, with the delivery schedule to be determined as planning and development works progress.
