New England Highway (Kelly Street) and Liverpool Street Scone

The Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) is planning road safety and traffic improvements at the intersection of Kelly Street and Liverpool Street Scone as part of the NSW Government’s commitment to upgrade multilane pedestrian crossings on major roads. 

The RTA is proposing to remove the existing roundabout and install traffic signals.  Comments will be considered by the RTA in finalising the project.

• Replacing the existing pedestrian crossings on both Kelly Street and Liverpool Street with signalised crossings within the intersection signals.
• Providing signalised pedestrian crossings on all four sides of the intersection.
• Installing median fencing in the immediate vicinity of the signals.
