Transport for NSW (TfNSW) says upgrades to the M1 Pacific Motorway’s extension to Raymond Terrace means night works are now underway this week.
From tonight, works on January 13, 14 and 16 from 7pm to 5am will occur on the eastbound off ramp from the New England Highway to Anderson Drive. A detour will be in place via New England Highway/Maitland Road, weather permitting.
The changed traffic conditions will also be in place at the same times for the John Renshaw Drive slip lane (westbound from New England Highway), which will be closed and a detour set via Weakleys Drive to John Renshaw Drive and the M1 Motorway.
TfNSW says this detour is unsuitable for vehicles operating on the SPV Level 6, Level 4 and 12t/axle and SPV Level networks.
