Five-year road delay claimed

Upgrades to the main arterial roads to and from the Peninsula could be delayed five years, according to the NSW Opposition.

Critical road upgrades at the Central Coast Hwy and Brisbane Water Dr intersection as well as the Woy Woy Rd and Central Coast Hwy intersection have been pushed back, according to RTA documents obtained by the NSW Liberal and National parties.

The Liberal party claims the documents show that the intersection upgrade promised for Woy Woy Rd and the Central Coast Hwy, expected to be finished next year, have been pushed back until 2016.

The intersection at Brisbane Water Dr and the Central Coast Hwy would not be finished until 2031, five years after the promised completion date.

Shadow Minister for Roads Mr Andrew Stoner said other Central Coast roads would also be affected under the RTA's plans.
