Blackwall Road and Memorial Avenue is used by around 18,000 vehicles a day and provides links between Woy Woy, Ettalong and the suburbs on the eastern side of the Rip Bridge including Daleys Point and St Huberts Island. 

The NSW Government is providing up to $19 million to upgrade the key intersections along the route.

Upgrading the Blackwall Road and Memorial Avenue intersections will result in:

• Supporting economic growth and productivity by providing road capacity for existing and project traffic volumes.
