Fowlers Road has been confirmed as the preferred option for new south-facing entry and exit ramps to the M1 Princes Motorway at Dapto, marking a major step forward in improving connectivity for the growing Illawarra region.
The NSW and Australian governments have committed $30 million to progress planning for the project.
The preferred option would provide direct access to and from the motorway for motorists travelling south, helping to ease pressure on the local road network and improve overall journey reliability for the community.
Following detailed investigations, Fowlers Road was identified as the best-performing location against key criteria including safety, traffic and transport outcomes, property and environmental considerations, cost and long-term benefits.
The community is invited to attend drop-in sessions to learn more about the project and speak with the project team. Registrations to attend sessions can be made online at nswroads.work/dapto-ramps or by calling the project information line 1800 312 766.
