Frenchs Forest residents will need to muster more patience as traffic will persist on Warringah Road, as part of the $500-million Northern Beaches Hospital road upgrade project.
Reroutes to the flow of traffic have been taking place, particularly during the weekends, as the construction of the underpass continues. Motorists are advised to be wary o
The Northern Beaches Police Area Command has also advised the public to be more observant and aware of what’s happening, especially during peak traffic hours, to avoid accidents and hurting themselves and other motorists. Since some intersections have changed, drivers are expected to carefully follow the traffic lights. Red light runners have been given stern warnings at these intersections.
The Northern Beaches Hospital road upgrade, which began in October 2018, is aimed at easing traffic and providing a better commuting experience for the public once it is completed. Currently, the project is on its second stage, which involves network enhancements and upgrades to Warringah Road, such as:
- underpass
- underpass bridges
- bus stops
- shared paths
- pedestrian bridges
This roadwork project is expected to be finished in 2020. As traffic conditions will not be normalised until this is completed, residents are advised to find alternative routes or plan their travel time ahead.
