The Road and Traffic Authority (RTA)'s previous Project Justification Study comprised a traffic modelling and forecast study, a value management study (which was of a strategic nature), an urban design overview, design of alternative options and traffic impacts and safety studies. The Project Justification Study predicted future traffic growth flows on the Princes Highway and along the proposed Northern Distributor extension route. The Study recommended, amongst other things, that more detailed and up to date traffic surveys be undertaken to assist with the design and improve the basis for traffic predictions and modelling. ?The current Traffic Studies have been commissioned to build on the earlier Project Justification Report and should be read in conjunction with that work. This Traffic Study is intended to assist in the selection of the EIS Proposal for the new road, intersection treatments, parking demand and safety impacts.

This report relates to the proposal to enhance a 2.68 kilometre section of the existing F6 Freeway from University Avenue, Gwynneville, to Princes Highway at Ghosts Creek, West Wollongong. Enhancement includes widening of the freeway to six lanes; construction of an interchange at the junction of F6 with MR626; and diversion of Fairy Creek to accommodate the interchange.

This Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been prepared on behalf of the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) in accordance with legislative requirements. It describes and examines the impacts associated with construction of a new four lane controlled access dual carriageway section of the Northern Distributor, extending from Bellambi Lane to the Princes Highway near Molloy Street in Bulli. The road is known as the Northern Distributor Extension (NDE). It would be a three (3) kilometre extension of the existing Northern Distributor passing through the suburbs of Russell Vale, Woonona and Bulli in the northern part of the Wollongong urban area. The EIS covers the social, economic, environmental impact of the proposed development, and provides an opportunity for public comment on all aspects of the development.
