A Federal Government injection of $21.5 million will ensure the final works around the Nowra Bridge can be completed.

Federal Member for Gilmore Fiona Phillips was delighted to announce the funding in last night’s budget which will allow landscaping, pavement and footpath works to be completed, as well as restoring the project compounds and ancillary sites in the bridge precinct.

“It will be great to see this wonderful project finished so the community can make the most of the precinct,” she said.

Mrs Phillips has also welcomed an additional $2.4 million to finish the Far North Collector Road, which links Illaroo Road at Bangalee to Moss Vale Road in Cambewarra.

The budget funding comes after Black Spot funds were announced for Forest Road ($452,400 ) south of Nowra and Woodburn Road ($246,000 ) near Milton last week.
