HISTORIC HIGHWAY PROJECT REACHES FINISH LINE

Australia’s biggest regional road project has been completed, with the final section of the Pacific Highway upgrade between Woolgoolga and Ballina on the NSW north coast opening to traffic.

The 15km section between Devils Pulpit and Woodburn marked the final link in the 657km Pacific Highway duplication between Hexham and the Queensland border – a project which has involved more than 40,000 jobs over 20 years to complete.

Deputy Prime Minister and Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, Michael McCormack, said: “This project is already delivering safer, quicker journeys right up and down the coast and we’re going to see even greater dividends having honoured our commitment to open to two lanes each way by the end of 2020.”

State Member for Clarence Chris Gulaptis said: “The Woolgoolga to Ballina upgrade will transform holiday journeys this festive season, bypassing five towns and providing a safer and more reliable road to complement the expected increase in domestic travel.

“We’ve installed the largest directional signs in NSW to showcase what each of our bypassed towns along the Pacific Highway have to offer, so I would love even more people to visit our regions and check out what they have to offer.”
