Under its plan, announced on Monday, the government will bypass Blackheath and Mount Victoria, duplicate the Great Western Highway and begin upgrades of the Bells Line of Road.
Planning is underway for a 30-kilometre duplication of the Great Western Highway from Katoomba to Forty Bends, which will provide a safe and efficient link between the Central West and the Sydney motorway network.
Member for Paul Toole has been pushing for the work behind the scenes and received a great deal of praise on Monday when he was joined for the announcement by Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight, Melinda Pavey, and Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Andrew Constance.
A multi-agency task force will also be assembled in Bathurst to deliver a transport masterplan.
More to come.
