Tribune’s note

Minister for Infrastructure Catherine King announced on 21 April that construction has commenced on Stage 2A of the King Georges Road upgrade in southern Sydney — the most significant development in this corridor since Stage 1 widened the road from four to six lanes between Stoney Creek Road and Forest Road [TA-260421-infras-fdfe86f66d3f:m00AMR]. Stage 2A will widen King Georges Road from two to three lanes in each direction between Connells Point Road and William Street, and extend right turn bays on both roads, with a particular focus on improving the King Georges Road and Connells Point Road intersection for safety and travel time outcomes on a corridor carrying 60,000 vehicles daily [TA-260421-infras-fdfe86f66d3f:m00AMR].

The $190 million project is equally split between the Australian and NSW Governments at $95 million each, with the construction contract awarded to BMD Constructions following completion of detailed design. The minister's media release frames the upgrade as a co-investment between federal and state Labor governments, connecting the infrastructure spend explicitly to congestion relief, safety, freight movement, and support for local business on a key southern Sydney corridor.
