The $76 million [Mandalong Road upgrade](https://www.nsw.gov.au/ministerial-releases/mandalong-road-upgrade-one-step-closer?ref=carexplore.com.au) has taken a key step forward, with Transport for [NSW](https://www.carexplore.com.au/tag/nsw/) releasing the Review of Environmental Factors (REF) and progressing the project into the detailed design phase.

### Environmental Review Completed

The REF outlines proposed construction methods and strategies to manage and minimise environmental impacts during the works. This milestone follows strong community support, with 80% backing the preferred design during last year’s consultation period.

### Key Features of the Upgrade

The project includes several major improvements:

- Replacing the current roundabout at Wyee Road and Freemans Drive with traffic signals
- A new shared path between Ourimbah Street and Gimberts Road
- Two new bus stops on Dora Street

These upgrades are designed to ease congestion, enhance safety, and improve public transport and pedestrian connectivity.

### Investment and Growth

Funding is a joint effort, with $56 million from the Australian Government and $20 million from the NSW Government. Mandalong Road has seen increased pressure due to recent retail, commercial, and industrial growth in Morisset and the southern Lake Macquarie region.

### Next Steps

With the REF complete, the project enters detailed design. Construction timelines will be clarified once design and planning are finalised.
