DURING construction of the $390 million Mount Ousley interchange, motorists are advised of changed traffic conditions, including lane and road closures and reduced speed limits over the following months.
The new interchange will replace the existing intersection of the Princes Motorway and Mount Ousley Road and aims to improve connectivity, safety and efficiency for the more than 50,000 motorists using Mount Ousley Road each day.
In November and December, night work will, at times, be carried out between 7pm and 6am, Mondays to Thursdays, from Monday 18 November to Thursday 19 December 2024, weather permitting.
On Monday 18 November and Tuesday 19 November between 8pm and 6am, there will be a full closure of Irvine Street between Madoline Street and Northfields Avenue including a full closure of northbound M1 Princes Motorway off and on ramps at Northfields Avenue, weather permitting. Detours will be in place for motorists.
More than 50,000 motorists who travel through the base of Mount Ousley each day are a step closer to safer and faster journeys with the award of the major contract to Fulton Hogan to design and build a new interchange.
The $390 million project is jointly funded, with the Australian Government committing $240 million and the NSW Government $150 million.
The interchange is designed to improve road safety by providing northbound access from Mount Ousley Road to the motorway via an overpass and will also provide better separation of cars and heavy vehicles.
When complete, the new interchange will include southbound heavy vehicle bypass lanes and safety ramps, a commuter car park, and a shared path and vehicle overpass for improved access between Mount Ousley Road, M1 Princes Motorway and the University of Wollongong. The project is expected to take about four years to complete.
