Lake Macquarie residents will benefit from work completed to install a noise wall on the M1 Pacific Motorway northbound near Currans Road.
Transport for NSW Director Region North Anna Zycki said the NSW Government funded the $8.1 million project to help reduce traffic noise for residents.
“The NSW Government views road traffic noise as an important issue and is committed to improving the daily lives of residents living near arterial infrastructure such as the M1 Pacific Motorway,” Ms Zycki said.
“Around 25,000 motorists use this section of motorway northbound every day.
“Work included surveying, vegetation clearing and building a 408-metre noise wall on the motorway.
“We also want to say a big thank you to the local community and motorists for their patience while we completed this work.
“Some minor finishing work will continue this month however traffic restrictions will no longer apply.”
