The Australian federal government has committed $560 million to the New England Highway-Singleton Bypass project. This funding was announced as part of the 2020-21 Budget.
In addition to this, the New South Wales government has committed $140 million, bringing the total project budget to $700 million.
Project Details:
Contractor: Acciona Construction Australia Pty Ltd has been awarded the design and construction contract.
Construction Timeline: Early work started in late 2022, with major construction expected to begin in mid-2024. The project is anticipated to open to traffic by late 2026, weather permitting.
Transport for NSW will now carry out further planning for the proposed Singleton Bypass to finalise the concept design. According to Singleton Mayor Sue Moore, "The detailed design plan will obviously take two years, but funding is on the board now and we'll get on and build the bypass as soon as possible."
The Singleton Bypass aims to improve traffic flow, travel times, and safety through Singleton town centre. Key benefits include:
Saving motorists around six minutes in travel time
Bypassing up to five sets of traffic lights
Redirecting approximately 15,000 vehicles per day away from the town centre
