Johns River

Local Independent MP, Mr. Peter Besseling, asked the Minister for Roads about line marking of our main village road (Johns River Road) now that the bypass is operational.

The question by Mr. Besseling was asked on 10 June 2010 (session 54-1) and published in Questions & Answers Paper No. 209.  The answer from the Hon. David Borger, Minister for Roads, was received on 13 July 2010 and printed in Questions & Answers Paper No. 214.

Mr Peter Besseling to the Minister for Roads, and Minister for Western Sydney—

Will the RTA provide relevant line-marking and re-sealing of sections of the south-bound lanes of the old Pacific Highway through Johns River as the existing road is no longer appropriately marked since the Johns River Bypass opened?

Answer—

I am advised some adjustments will be made to the directional line marking of the old Pacific Highway at Johns River as part of finishing works for the Coopernook to Herons Creek upgrade.

I understand that the line marking adjustments on the old highway could not be completed until after traffic was switched onto the new bypass, which opened to traffic on 28 May 2010.

I am further advised that rainfall since the opening has delayed the completion of the work. Temporary directional markings and traffic guidance remain in place until the work is completed.
