From Monday, there will be up to six days of work on the Pacific Highway between Broadwater and Devils Pulpit to carry out property access and finishing work, including fencing, ground surveying, landscaping and maintenance. Motorists can expect lane closures, traffic control and a reduced speed limit of 60 km/h at times between 6am and 6pm.

Twenty-one lives were lost on October 20, 1989 when a semi-trailer collided with a bus on the Pacific Highway at Cowper 25km north of Grafton. More than 31 years, $15 billion and hundreds more lost lives later, this month Australia s largest ever road infrastructure project was officially completed. As part of the Pacific Highway Upgrade, there is now 657km of continuous dual carriageway from Hexham near Newcastle to the Queensland border.
