Three dangerous crash locations across Campbelltown will soon be made safer.
Almost $800,000 in funding has been allocated under the Australian Government’s black spot program for improvements to the three intersections.
The biggest share of the money, $374,261, will go towards slow point, vehicle activated signs, and wombat and pedestrian crossings, on Woodhouse Drive, Ambarvale, from 50m south west of Throsby Way to 90m south west of Dickens Road.
Funding of $205,500 for Junction Road, Ruse (pictured above), from Acacia Avenue to 30m north of Kembla Crescent will be used for vehicle activated signs, slow point, protected right-turn lane, S-lane and painted channelisation.
The third share, $200,000, is for Emerald Drive, Eagle Vale, from Diamond Place to Limonite Place, to upgrade the intersection from give way to stop. The work will also include vehicle activated signs, slow point and marking road edge lines.
The funding for the federal electorate of Macarthur is part of the $31.9 million allocated this financial year for NSW roads under the black spot program.
“Macarthur residents rely on safe and accessible use of our roads, whether it is through their own vehicles or on public transport, and so it is imperative that road safety upgrades are delivered,’’ says Dr Mike Freelander, the member for Macarthur.
“I thank the assistant minister and the NSW black spot program panel for their awareness of these areas of concern.
“This funding will benefit motorists, pedestrians and wildlife alike, which is a big win for all in our community.
“There is much more to be done in regard to local infrastructure and I will continue to advocate for this.”
