Sturt Highway to Table Top

The Australian and the New South Wales governments have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the Accelerated Southern Hume Duplication Package. The Australian Government has allocated $800 million in accordance with the AusLink (National Land Transport) Act 2005. The RTA will project manage these works.
The Hume Highway is the main road freight route between Sydney and Melbourne.

This package of works is scheduled to duplicate 67 kilometres of the Hume Highway in southern New South Wales by the end of 2009, leaving only 20 kilometres of highway as single carriageway. Bypasses at Tarcutta, Holbrook and Woomargama will require more complex planning, community consultation and environmental assessment.

The duplication of the Hume Highway will significantly improve road safety for all motorists and improve transport efficiency for communities and industries along this major freight route.
