The proposed Foxground and Berry bypass would provide a four lane highway with median separation for approximately 11.6 kilometres on the Princes Highway between Toolijooa Road and Schofields Lane.  It would include a bypass of Berry with access ramps at the north and south of the town.

Project overview

The project would include the following key features:

• Widening the Princes Highway to a four lane highway with median separation between Toolijooa Road and Schofields Lane (approximately 11.6 km in length) bypassing Foxground and Berry.
• An interchange at Toolijooa Road.
• A substantial cutting about 24 metres deep at Toolijooa Ridge.
• An interchange and heavy vehicle rest area at Austral Park Road.
• A northern interchange for Berry.
• A southern interchange for Berry at Kangaroo Valley Road.

Key benefits of the upgrade include

• Improved traffic efficiency and overall safety for road users on this section of the Princes Highway.
• Generation of local employment opportunities.
• Support for the local and regional economy in the short and long term.

Environmental assessment

Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) is preparing an environmental assessment of the proposal to address the requirements issued by the Director General of NSW Department of Planning. The environmental assessment will be displayed for public comment.
