King Georges Staging | Transport for NSW

About the project

The NSW Government is working to ease congestion, increase safety and improve travel times on King Georges Road, between Beverly Hills and Hurstville. The project will widen King Georges Road between Stoney Creek Road Beverly Hills and Forest Road Hurstville, providing three lanes in each direction. This will reduce congestion and improve journey times for road users.

In September 2018, Roads and Maritime Services asked the community provide feedback on a proposed design to reduce congestion and improve road safety on King Georges Road for all road users.

We received more than 100 responses to our original proposal. It included plans to ban right turn movements into and out of King Georges Road from George, Dudley, Clarence and Percival streets. Most of the responses related to concerns around the plan to ban these right turns. You told us that banning all right turns would have caused inconvenience for local residents, particularly those who needed to access to Penshurst Public School and Penshurst Park Sporting hub. In response to your feedback, we investigated alternatives and now plan to construct a new right turn bay from King Georges Road, southbound, into Percival Street.

Our revised design

In response to community feedback we have modified our proposed design to provide a dedicated right turn lane on King Georges Road southbound for motorists turning right on Percival Street. This right turn lane will allow motorists to queue safely on King Georges Road while waiting for a break in traffic to turn right into Percival Street without impeding traffic flow in the southbound lanes. It will also maintain access to Penshurst Public School and the Penshurst Park Sporting hub.

Some changes to the median will also be made to accommodate water drainage.

The proposal to ban right turn movements into and out of George, Dudley and Clarence streets will not change, and motorists will not be able to turn right from Percival Street to travel southbound on King Georges Road. Roads and Maritime investigated removing these proposed right turn bans as well as potential changes to the intersection of King Georges Road and Forest Road however, right turning traffic contributes significantly to congestion on King Georges Road and the project’s benefit would be diminished if these turns were allowed.

Permanent electronic message sign

Roads and Maritime are planning to relocate the permanent electronic message sign currently on King Georges Road near Hurstville Aquatic Centre. It’s important the sign is in a suitable position because it provides real-time journey information for road users travelling south. After reviewing the options, it was determined the best location for this sign will be in front of Beverly Hills Public School. We will work with this school to minimise disruption when we relocate the sign.

Construction schedule

We expect to begin major construction work in the second half of 2020, however we may begin some preliminary work prior to this. We will update the community before we start. We will work at night where possible to reduce traffic delays and disruption. Our night works hours will be from 9 pm to 5am, Sunday to Thursday.
