NORTHCONNE­X IS OPENING THIS WEEK!

- By Julian Leeser

NorthConne­x opening this week! For a generation our community has been calling for a solution to the traffic problems on Pennant Hills Rd.

This $3 billion road will enable people to get around the community and spend less time in traffic and more time with loved ones. Northconne­x is a great example of the Federal and State Government­s working together with the private sector to deliver a road which is a real game changer for our community.

Planning for the upgrade of New Line Road has now commenced

New Line Road is a major bottleneck in the electorate, causing issues with traffic flows as well as pedestrian safety, and this planning process is the first step to fixing it.

Developmen­t of a business case for a future upgrade of the road is now underway.

The business case will investigat­e upgrading it to a four-lane divided carriagewa­y and replacing the current combinatio­n of divided dual and single carriagewa­ys.

An upgrade to New Line Road will improve safety, and remove a major frustratio­n for many of us.

Local residents will see technical experts along New Line Road surveying the condition of the existing road and utility infrastruc­ture. The business case is jointly funded with the Australian and NSW government­s each committing $10 million.

When this is complete, it will be up to the state government to action the plan. If this is important to you, I encourage you to write to your state member:

The Hon. Dominic Perrottet (Epping electorate)

The Hon. Matt Kean (Hornsby electorate)
