Gocup Road has been undergoing progressive upgrade works since 2012. This project aims to provide a safer road environment for all motorists, reducing the frequency and severity of crashes.
“The Gocup Road upgrades are a medium to long-term action in the NSW Long Term Transport Master plan and the Murray-Murrumbidgee Regional Transport plan.
“The aim is to support more efficient high productivity vehicle access, particularly for the local timber and milling industry, while being sensitive to the area’s natural environment, heritage and local communities,” the RMS spokesperson said.
