Media Release: $25 Million Secured Funding Hume Highway

 

Thank you to the community for your strong and persistent advocacy.

Any improvement that makes this stretch of road safer is a positive step. But we know there is more to do and there won’t be any resting on laurels.

 

Ultimately, we need to keep pushing for continued safety upgrades, including working towards a future full diamond interchange.

I would like to acknowledge the Minister for Roads and Transport for NSW and will continue to work constructively with the Minister as we pursue further improvements.

 

Details that have been released:

Work will be completed in three stages, include improving the road surface, upgrading drainage and installing safety barriers on a three kilometre stretch of the Hume Highway at Table Top.

Work on the first stage will commence in February 2026, with the upgrade of two temporary crossovers at both ends to allow for two-way traffic flow in one direction, before major work starts on 1.65 kilometres of the southern half of the northbound lanes.

 

The second stage will upgrade a 1.65-kilometre section of the northern half of the northbound lanes, and the third stage will upgrade the full 3.15-kilometre length of the southbound lanes.

The project is expected to be completed by mid-2028, weather permitting.

 

All work will be carried out under traffic control, with at least one lane open in each direction at all times.

Transport for NSW will also be carrying out a comprehensive investigation of the Hume Highway intersections with Tynan Road and Burma Road to help plan for future road upgrades.

An update on the potential upgrades at these intersections will be made available to the community in early 2026.

As I am advised of any further details I will continue to share with the community
