Plans accelerate for Mona Vale Road East upgrade
12 March 2018
NSW Government:
Member for Pittwater Rob Stokes today
announced the NSW
Roads and Maritime Services is progressing plans for
the upgrade of
Mona Vale Road East, between Ingleside and Mona Vale,
with
tenders for the project now invited.
The
NSW Government is funding this essential project to improve safety
and traffic flow for the thousands of motorists who use Mona Vale Road
daily.
“This is a key milestone in this vital project,” Rob Stokes said today.
“An enormous amount of preliminary work has been completed over recent
years to reach this point where construction tenders are now being
invited.
“All local motorists understand the challenges associated with the
eastern section of Mona Vale Road - especially the inability to overtake
slow moving heavy vehicles heading uphill.
“The project will include building additional lanes for climbing and
descending to improve travel times, as well as wider shoulders, median
separation and a heavy vehicle arrester bed to enhance safety.
“A three metre wide shared path will be built along Mona Vale Road
between Lane Cove Road East and Foley Street to improve safety for
pedestrians and cyclists.
“Mona Vale Road is the main east-west link between the Pacific Highway
at Pymble and Pittwater Road at Mona Vale - so it’s increasingly
important for this project to be completed.
“Roads and Maritime Services is asking prequalified and resourced
contractors capable of delivering this complex civil project to submit
tenders for the Mona Vale Road East upgrade project.
“Work associated with this tender includes earth work, road and shoulder
widening, utility relocation, intersection upgrades, slope
stabilisation, fauna crossings and landscaping work.”
