F6 Extension - stage 1

background

The NSW Government is proposing to build a 4km underground motorway, the F6 Extension, from President Avenue at Kogarah to the New M5 Motorway at Arncliffe.

This will have a huge impact on many residents of the Kogarah Bay Ward with thousands of cars being funnelled onto our main corridors of the Princes Highway and Rocky Point Road, with the NSW Roads Minister suggesting that 24-hour clearways may be introduced on these two roads to improve traffic flow. Trying to attempt to cross over or turn onto either of these roads is already gridlock on most occasions. The introduction of 24-hr clearways will not only have a devastating effect on local businesses, it will decimate the local community feel of high street shopping strips such as Ramsgate and Sans Souci. Parking in these locations is already a premium, with new apartment blocks being constructed every few hundred metres. The Leader recently published this article on the proposed clearways.
