Princes Highway and Waratah Street Intersection Upgrade

Overview Transport for NSW is inviting tenders for the construction of an intersection upgrade at Princes Highway and Waratah Street, Kirrawee. About Princes Highway forms part of the A1 Road corridor, the main route connecting the southeastern parts of Sydney and the Illawarra. It also provides access to major roads including the M5 Motorway, A3 King Georges Road and M8 Motorway. The intersection of Princes Highway and Waratah Street is located in the Sutherland Shire Local Government Area (LGA), about 29 kilometres from the Sydney Central Business District (CBD). The intersection is located in a highly developed urban setting, characterised by commercial and retail properties, including several car yards along Waratah Street and the western side of Princes Highway, and residential developments on the eastern side of Princes Highway with access off the corridor. Purpose This intersection has been identified as a point of congestion in the Transport for NSW (TfNSW) road network. Investigations of the intersection have identified opportunities to improve high demand for right and left-turn movements, intersection efficiency and safety.
