'Expect delays': Increased traffic on Lawrence Hargrave Drive this weekend

Transport for NSW Traffic Alert: 22 January 2021

Transport for NSW is expecting heavier than normal traffic along Lawrence Hargrave Drive this Australia Day weekend.

The prediction of hot and sunny weather this weekend means roads may be busier than usual as people travel to the coast.

Motorists are advised to expect delays and be aware of changed traffic conditions in the area.

Transport for NSW encourages road users to consider visiting one of the other 17 patrolled beaches in the Wollongong area.

More information about beach locations and patrol hours can be found on the Wollongong City Council webpage at wollongong.nsw.gov.au/explore/beaches.

Motorists are asked to plan ahead by checking live traffic before starting their journey and to consider using alternate routes if possible.

Real-time information for travellers and alternate route options at key points will be available via livetraffic.com and VMS message boards.
