00:00 The NSW and Australian Governments are delivering a safer and more reliable Jervis Bay Road

00:07 and Princes Highway intersection.

00:11 The intersection connects NARA, the largest regional centre on the NSW South Coast, and

00:17 the growing residential and tourism townships of the Jervis Bay and Basin region.

00:22 It hosts one of the highest volumes of traffic between NARA and the Victorian border and

00:27 has ongoing safety and congestion issues.

00:31 The new intersection will be a flyover or grade separated interchange, with a bridge

00:37 that would travel over Jervis Bay Road, connecting to roundabouts on either side of the highway.

00:45 For those travelling through the intersection via the highway, it will be upgraded to two

00:50 lanes in each direction.

00:52 This would provide uninterrupted flow through the intersection and remove potential traffic

00:57 congestion.

00:59 Those travelling from Jervis Bay Road North onto the Princes Highway and from the Princes

01:04 Highway East onto Jervis Bay Road would have more reliable and congestion free journeys

01:10 due to the low volumes of traffic sharing the roundabouts from other directions.

01:15 There will also be longer entry and exit lanes on and off the highway.

01:20 Changes to nearby local roads will maintain access for homes and businesses.

01:26 Pedestrian and cycle paths, bus stops and drop off facilities are proposed to cater

01:31 to all transport users and better connect to the wider transport network.

01:37 The design provides the safest option for all transport customers.

01:41 Keeping traffic moving and addressing congestion will reduce the likelihood of serious accidents.

01:49 It will also create more reliable access to towns, businesses and services, leading to

01:55 a more resilient transport network.

01:58 The intersection serves as the gateway to other important projects further south as

02:03 part of the Princes Highway Upgrade Program, delivering a safe, reliable, efficient and

02:08 connected network for everyone.

02:12 Early work on the Jervis Bay Road and Princes Highway intersection will start in late 2022.

02:18 Have your say on the concept design and environmental assessment.
