Transport for NSW will start activities to establish an additional site office and associated buildings from Monday 19 June 2023. This is the site establishment for the delivery of the Heatherbrae Bypass project. Work is expected to take about two months to complete, weather permitting.

How will night works affect you?
Road works involve the use of noise generating machinery. We make every effort to minimise noise by completing noisier activities earlier in the night and turn off machinery and vehicles when they are not in use.
Traffic changes
There can be temporary traffic changes to make sure that our work zones are safe.
Lane closures and a 40km/h speed limits are in place during work hours which may affect your travel times.
We ask that you please keep to speed limits and follow the direction of any traffic controllers and signs.
