New Roadside Rest Area Commissioned

Sunday, 24 June 2012 23:43

Work has been completed on the final stage of a new and long overdue roadside rest area on the Princes Highway between Nowra and Ulladulla.

The new multi lane rest area has been built for south bound traffic at Jerrawangla, between the Sussex Inlet and Bendalong turn offs

The first part of the project was completed just before Christmas, with work now completed on the construction of a new toilet block.

The road transport industry has been lobbying for extra rest areas on the Princes Highway, as truck drivers find it increasingly hard to find spots where they can get off the road for a sleep.

The army found out the hard way last year, just how difficult it is to find a rest area.

Two of its trucks became bogged when they stopped beside the highway at South Nowra.
