Central Coast Council has commenced a $750,000 road upgrade to Gosford Avenue at The Entrance to make it safer for motorists.

These road works are a priority under Council’s Capital Rolling Works Program and will focus on the busy section from Boondilla Road to Boomerang Road.

Council’s Construction Manager, Mr Stuart Baverstock, said Council is committed to improving its road network and making The Entrance safer for all motorists.

“We understand this popular thoroughfare is an important connection for motorists to access the Central Coast Highway and we are aiming to finish this work within the next three months,” Mr Baverstock said.

“The speed limit will be reduced to 40km/h and motorists may experience short detours in late August when the work begins.

“Council will ensure the safety of all pedestrians and road users with the use of traffic control during this time.”

Motorists will not only experience a safer and better road surface but an upgrade to the stormwater drainage system that will improve flooding issues in the area.

Council’s Administrator, Mr Ian Reynolds said Council is committing more funding than ever to local roads and it is really starting to pay off.

“Our community wants better roads and this is a great example of the new Central Coast Council delivering the projects and services our community need, want and value.”

This financial year Council will spend over $60 million in capital projects on the Central Coast road network.
