King Georges Road Upgrade

April 2021

In August 2019, Transport for NSW provided an updated design to the King Georges Road upgrade proposal in response to community feedback provided during the ‘Have Your Say’ period in September 2018. The project will widen King Georges Road between Stoney Creek Road Beverly Hills and Forest Road Hurstville, providing three lanes in each direction. This will reduce congestion and improve journey times for road users.

Current design• Widening King Georges Road from Stoney Creek

Road, Beverly Hills to Forest Road, Hurstville to create three lanes in each direction, separated by a concrete median.

• Removing right turn movements in and out of George, Dudley, Clarence and Warwick Street to increase safety and improve travel time for motorists traveling on King Georges Road.

• In response to your feedback in September 2018, we included a dedicated right turn bay from King Georges Road, southbound, into Percival Street to the design.

• Relocating the permanent electronic message sign, currently on King Georges Road near Hurstville Aquatic Centre, to in front of Beverly Hills Public School. We will work with this school to minimise disruption when we relocate the sign.

Additional scope - updated designTransport for NSW have expanded the scope of the project to further improve journey times for road users, and improve safety and flooding mitigation. More details about these design changes and project update are over the page.

Additional scope - updated designExtension of the right turn lane

We have modified our proposed design to provide a longer dedicated right turn lane on King Georges Road northbound for motorists turning right onto Stoney Creek Road to reduce congestion at the intersection. No additional road widening is required to accommodate the extended right turn lane.

Undergrounding powerlines

In addition to replacing timber power poles and powerlines with underground power, and installing steel light poles on the western side of King Georges Road, Transport for NSW plans to further improve safety by placing new electricity supply

underground, and installing steel light poles on the eastern side of King Georges Road between Warwick Street and Ruby Street. Households connecting to these utilities will receive a private power pole to supply electricity to the property. Further details for the individual houses will be provided in due course. No additional road widening is required to accommodate the undergrounding of additional utility poles.

Drainage works on Bassett Street

Transport for NSW proposes to install 900m of underground drainage works on Bassett Street to capture and reduce overland flooding onto King Georges Road. The drainage works will be wholly contained within the road and will include use of microtunnelling to install drainage pipes at very deep levels. No additional road widening is required to accommodate the drainage works.

Construction schedule

Transport for NSW have already commenced early works, including demolition of Transport for NSW owned properties along with property adjustment works at selected properties.

We expect to begin major construction work in late-2021. We will update the community before we start. We will be required to undertake some work at night to minimise traffic delays and disruption. Our night works hours will be from 9pm to 5am, Sunday to Thursday.

Thank you for your patience during this important work.
