Engineering firm selected to deliver Princes Highway business case

The NSW Government has appointed international engineering firm Arup to deliver the strategic business case for Princes Highway upgrade projects from south of Nowra to the Victorian border.

NSW Regional Transport and Roads Minister Paul Toole said the appointment was a major step in the continued transformation of the Princes Highway.

“The business case will determine the strategic priorities for the next stage of the Princes Highway upgrade as we work to deliver safer, more reliable journeys,” he said.

Arup were selected to deliver the strategic business case after a competitive tender process.

NSW Transport and Roads Minister and Bega Member Andrew Constance said the Princes Highway program was a “once-in-a-generation” opportunity.

“The projects will ensure better connected regional centres and help to grow regional economies, while providing safer journeys for locals, visitors and freight,” he said.

According to South Coast Member Shelley Hancock, NSW’s South Coast community was recently invited to have their say on three priority projects including the Jervis Bay Road intersection upgrade and Milton Ulladulla and Moruya bypasses.

“Transport for NSW will consider all feedback before progressing each project further,” she said.
