In November 2018
Member for Pittwater Rob Stokes announced the NSW Government has awarded the construction contract for the upgrade of Mona Vale Road East. The contract was awarded to Georgiou Group Pty Ltd and onsite works are expected to commence in February next year, after the summer holiday period. The project is expected to be completed in 2022.
On Tuesday January 29th the contractor will commence preliminary works such as installing traffic controls, such as barriers, signs, linemarking, setting up the site compound for the project team and delivering materials and equipment to site.
Preliminary works also include removing trees, shrubs and other vegetation on both sides of Mona Vale Road between Daydream Street, Mona Vale, and Lane Cove Road, Ingleside.
The $140 million project, between Foley Street at Mona Vale and Manor Road at Ingleside, will involve building additional climbing and descending lanes to improve travel times, and the introduction of median separation and a heavy vehicle arrester bed to help address the road’s tragic crash history.

What can you expect during construction?
During construction, Roads and Maritime will aim to minimise the impact on businesses, residents and the community. However, this is a significant project and there will be disruptions including:
• noise and dust from rock cuttings
• traffic changes such as contra-flows and detours
• traffic delays, including additional heavy vehicles on the roads
• night work
• driveway realignment for several residents on Mona Vale Road
• major utility relocations in and around Ponderosa Parade, Samuel Street and Foley Street.
Our working hours
Standard working hours on the project will be between 7am and 6pm from Monday to Friday and 8am to 1pm on Saturdays.
Mona Vale Road and Ponderosa Parade intersection
As part of the upgrade, the intersection of Mona Vale Road and Ponderosa Parade will be changed to a traffic light intersection.
Features of the new intersection include:
• replacing the existing roundabout with new traffic lights and pedestrian signal crossings in all directions
• new bus priority lanes on Mona Vale Road on the approaches to and departures from the intersection
• relocating the eastbound bus stop on Mona Vale Road further east to the departure side of the intersection
• dedicated right-hand turn lanes on all approaches to the intersection
• left-hand slip lanes on all approaches to the intersection.
The upgraded intersection will significantly improve safety at this location, and improve traffic flow entering and exiting the commercial area
