Motorists and pedestrians in Caringbah will experience reduced congestion and increased safety, with work starting in February to improve the intersection of Taren Point Road, The Boulevarde and Captain Cook Drive.
Around 70,000 vehicles travel through this intersection daily, with southbound motorists on Taren Point Road experiencing significant delays when trying to turn right into The Boulevarde.
This project will ease congestion by widening Taren Point Road to include an additional right turn lane heading south into The Boulevarde heading west, which will help deliver faster journeys for road users heading towards Miranda, Gymea, Kirrawee, Sutherland and beyond.
More than 1,600 students attend nearby Endeavour Sports and Caringbah High Schools, making this intersection a major hub for pedestrians as well, particularly during morning and afternoon pick-up and drop-off times.
The upgrade includes relocating and widening the pedestrian crossings on The Boulevarde, and replacing the footpath and fencing along the north-west corner of the intersection.
New pedestrian crossing lights will be installed and the intersection will be resurfaced with new line markings, including on each of the four pedestrian crossings, to make it safer and easier for people to cross the road.
Roads and Maritime Services is working closely with the local schools to ensure students, parents and teachers are kept informed as the work progresses and as little disruption as possible occurs.
Work is expected to start on 1 February 2019 and take up to eight months to complete.
Work will be carried out on weekdays between 7am and 6pm, and between 8am and 1pm on Saturday. Work may also take place on up to five nights a week between 8pm and 5am from Sunday to Thursday, weather permitting and excluding public holidays.
More information about the project is available on the Roads and Maritime Services website: www.rms.nsw.gov.au/projects/sydney-south.

Yesterday I joined 15 students from five Sydney schools at Parramatta, where they set off to retrace the steps of Sir James Martin, walking from Parramatta Square to Sydney’s Martin Place. In the 1830s Martin used to walk from his home in Parramatta to Sydney to go to high school.
A penniless Irish boy, Martin later became Attorney General, Premier and Chief Justice. He was a key architect of Australia’s first public education system.
The Lysicrates Foundation partnered with the NSW Department of Education to host the walk. ... See MoreSee Less

And he was the 4th Member for Monaro (1864-1865)! ❤️
Extremely encouraging to see our wonderful local history being embraced and taught.
Great effort from the students. 🚶♀️👏👏
The Labor MP of Parramatta is invisible. We need more voice at the parliament to build a future here

Mark Spearman is a racist worm who cares nothing about profits and ego. long Live Palestine. From a Christian who cannot stand injustice. Israel is a terrorist regime along with Genocide Joe. So you take your fascists ideology Mr Speakman and shove it. Palestinians have been subjected to inhumane conditions treatment and discrimination extermination and apeartheiurd for 75 years. Go back to bed Sir.
Yet not a single member of the party cares that one woman dies a week from DV.
Sadly you have shown that you are not a leader and I will not be voting for NSW liberal anytime soon. First thing a leader would do is get rid of GREEN KEAN!!
