The Pacific Highway upgrade project between Herons Creek to Stills Road will upgrade 3.5 kilometres of highway.

BMD Constructions Pty Ltd were awarded a contract in December 2010 and construction started early March 2011. The project is scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2013.

Benefits

Key features

• Providing a new motorway standard northbound carriageway within the existing median parallel to the existing southbound carriageway.
• Construct a new crossing over Cutty Creek.
