TRAFFIC ALERT
19 January 2010
START OF BUS PRIORITY PROJECT
An upgrade to provide southbound and northbound bus lanes in Pittwater Road, Narrabeen, on the
approach to the Wakehurst Parkway intersection is about to start.
This project is part of a NSW Government initiative to develop 43 strategic bus corridors across the
Sydney metropolitan area and get commuters to their destinations sooner.
Road work is scheduled to start on the section of Pittwater Road between Wakehurst Parkway and
Garden Street on Wednesday 20 January 2010, weather permitting.
The project will improve the efficiency and reliability of bus services and improve pedestrian and
cycling safety when it is completed in late 2010.
Road work will generally be carried out Monday to Friday from 7am to 6pm and on Saturdays from
8am to 1pm. Some night work may be required and directly affected residents and businesses will
be informed in advance.
The RTA is asking motorists to be aware of the changed traffic conditions, obey any reduced speed
limits and follow directions of traffic controllers.
As a result of community input, the main work has been adjusted to include:
Relocation of a water main and construction of a retaining wall at the corner of Pittwater Road
and Gondola Road
Minor road widening on Pittwater Road northbound from Gondola Road to 40 metres north of
Nareen Parade and on the northern side of Gondola Road for 40 metres up to the Pittwater
Road intersection
Construction of a southbound red bus lane extending from the bus stop south of the Garden
Street intersection to about 50 metres before the bridge over Narrabeen Lagoon
Construction of a northbound red bus lane on the approach to the Wakehurst Parkway
intersection
Installation of traffic lights and pedestrian crossings at the Gondola Road intersection
Adjustments to traffic lights at the intersection of Wakehurst Parkway and Pittwater Road to
include new pedestrian/cyclist crossings
Adjustments to parking spaces near the Pittwater Road/Gondola Street intersection
Every effort will be made to minimise impacts on residents and businesses. The RTA appreciates the
patience of motorists while the road work is being carried out.
