TRIPOLI WAY ROAD UPGRADE ELECTRICAL WORK RELOCATION STARTS

The Tripoli Way road project is set to begin with work to start on electrical relocations. This is the first step in progressing the Tripoli Way road upgrade that will improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in Albion Park.

The project will establish an uninterrupted route bypassing the Albion Park town centre, connecting Terry Street in the east to the Illawarra Highway at Broughton Avenue in the west, and includes widening to four lanes to Calderwood Road and two lanes to Tongarra Road at Tullimbar.

Council appointed Ferrycarrig at the December Council Meeting to undertake the key electrical works for Tripoli Way, due to start next week to prepare the road corridor for major construction that will begin later in 2025.

“It’s great to have Ferrycarrig on to commence these early works for the Tripoli Way Extension, with their experience working on similar civil projects across New South Wales” Mayor Chris Homer said.

“I am pleased to see this project moving into the construction phase. This will be a win for locals and the community as the centre of Albion Park has become congested with traffic.”

“This is an exciting first step towards delivering the road infrastructure needed to support our growing Shellharbour community for generations to come.”

Council funding has been matched with the NSW State Government contribution towards the project, with these electrical relocations preparing the site for major work that will begin later this year.

“I acknowledge the NSW State Government part funding the work and helping Council to move this project forward as an investment in Albion Park’s transport network,” Mayor Homer said.

Preliminary electrical works will begin in February, with Ferrycarrig on site to carry out electrical and utility relocation over four months.

The main construction tender will be advertised in the coming months. Major construction works is expected to start in the second half of the year.
