Work has begun on the new Bega Bypass following three years of extensive planning and community consultation.

 

The fully Federally funded $60 million bypass will see  a new 3.5 kilometre two-lane road to the west of the existing Princes Highway between the existing Bega River Bridge and Finucane Lane.

 

“The Bypass is no longer just an aspiration or a line on the map.  It will soon be a real road delivering real benefits including safer, quicker driving conditions and more than 500 fewer trucks a day rumbling through the town,” Eden-Monaro MP Mike Kelly said.
