Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight Melinda Pavey said the Fixing Country Roads program had reached almost $270 million, funding vital road upgrades delivering better connections to local communities.

“Freight is worth more than $60 billion to the NSW economy so it is vital that our regional roads are able to support more efficient freight movements in and out of our regional areas,” Mrs Pavey said.

“Fixing Country Roads has seen almost $270 million made available on 254 projects including projects on roads, bridges, truck washes and route load assessments across the state”.

The Fixing Country Road program complements the Fixing Country Rail initiative, with both focusing on improving freight infrastructure and efficiency across the state.
