NSW Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight Melinda Pavey said the existing New England Highway in the Bolivia Hill area had a poor crash history due to narrow lanes and road shoulders, a rock face on one side and a steep rock valley on the other.

“This project will include more than two kilometres of new road, a new 320-metre-long bridge, wider lanes in each direction and widened road shoulders,” Ms. Pavey said.

A Georgiou Group-SRG Civil joint venture was awarded a $43.4 million contract on the project with Roads and Maritime Services this past March.

The project is jointly funded by the Australian ($55 million) and the NSW governments ($25 million) and is expected to be completed in late 2020, weather permitting.
