The Albanese and Minns Labor governments’ Milton Ulladulla bypass project has marked another milestone and continues to move forward.
With the first environmental studies now complete, the project will move to the concept design phase, which involves exploring corridor refinements needed to ensure the project best delivers improved connectivity and reduced travel times.
A local access strategy will also be developed to ensure the bypass provides access to properties and businesses when local roads may be impacted by construction and operation of the bypass.
Development of the strategy will involve consultation with Shoalhaven City Council, property owners, businesses and community groups to ensure the design options meet the needs of locals and the wider community.
Once built, the bypass will improve road safety and reduce travel times on the Princes Highway and improve trip reliability, by bypassing Milton and Ulladulla town centres.
As the concept design phase continues, a comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement will also be developed to ensure construction of the bypass does not unnecessarily impact on local wildlife, while protecting and enhancing biodiversity.
While planning on the bypass continues, Transport for NSW is also considering other short-term opportunities in and around Milton and Ulladulla to make improvements to footpaths, signage and lighting.
The Transport for NSW project team is inviting the community to drop-in sessions in July and August to learn more about the project and provide any feedback.
The team will be at Ulladulla Civic Centre on Saturday 27 July between 10am and 12pm.
Milton Village Markets on Saturday 3 August between 9am and 2pm and at the Mollymook Surf Club on Wednesday 21 August between 3pm and 6pm.
