Foxground and Berry bypass- Northbound animation transcript
00:01 - 00:18 Welcome to the Foxground and Berry bypass animated upgrade
flyover. This animation aims to provide you with a visual aid of the design of the
project. The traffic levels shown in this animation are indicative of the expected travel
levels in the year 2017.
00:24 - 00:36 This animation shows the Foxground and Berry bypass upgrade
starting at the Project’s southern boundary at Mullers Lane travelling north towards
Berry. A u-turn facility at Mullers Lane will provide property access to Berry north of
Mullers Lane.
00:44 - 00:54 The project will provide a four lane divided highway for a distance of
11.6 kilometers between Schofields Lane and Toolijooa Road.
00:52 - 01:02 An overhead variable message sign adjacent to the northbound lanes
near Schofields Lane will display information about road and
traffic conditions for northbound traffic
01:05 - 01:18 A vehicular underpass at Schofields Lane will provide access to the
upgraded highway for both northbound and southbound vehicles. Property access
roads will connect to the underpass on the eastern side of the upgraded highway.
01:32 - 01:39 A noise barrier will be provided adjacent to Huntingdale Park Road, to
reduce the impacts of traffic noise on nearby residents.
01:42 - 01:57 The Berry southern interchange at Kangaroo Valley Road will provide
access to the Berry township and local roads. This interchange includes: On and off
ramps from both southbound and northbound lanes.
02:00 - 02:04 The southbound on-ramp commences from Victoria Street via a twoway connection with Queen Street.
02:05 - 02:14 Four new roundabouts providing access to Kangaroo Valley Road,
Huntingdale Park Road, Rawlings Lane, Queen Street and Victoria Street
02:16 - 02:22 And a bridge at Kangaroo Valley Road over the highway with shared
pedestrian cycle ways on both sides of the bridge

02:36 - 02:48 Town Creek will be diverted to Bundewallah Creek, adjacent to
Rawlings Lane. A noise barrier will be provided adjacent to North Street, reducing
the impacts of traffic noise on nearby residents
02:49 - 03:02 A shared pedestrian cycle way will be provided adjacent to North
Street, providing access from Kangaroo Valley Road to the Berry township,
residential properties and the sporting and recreational facilities on North Street.
03:13 - 03:27 The project includes a bridge adjacent to Berry as part of the northern
interchange. This bridge is 600 meters in length and has a clearance of 4.6 meters
over Woodhill Mountain Road.
03:37 - 03:47 The Berry northern interchange will provide; southbound access into
the Berry township and local roads, and a northbound exit from Berry via a highway
underpass.
04:46 - 04:55 Access to Tindalls Lane will be provided by an ‘S’ type gradeseparated interchange with left in/ left out only connections to the highway.
05:01 - 05:05 The existing school bus facility on Tindalls Lane remain unchanged.
05:05 - 05:10 A road maintenance site is provided within the southern loop of the
interchange for use by both RMS and the local council
05:32 - 05:33 A vehicular underpass has been added to the design connecting
Gembrook Lane to the Tindalls Lane interchange, improving access to the upgraded
highway.
05:48 - 06:04 A combined flood mitigation / vehicular underpass and wildlife crossing
between Tindalls Lane and Austral Park Road has been included in the design. This
will provide flood relief for adjacent residences and improve access to properties on
both sides of the highway
06:04 - 06:10 Access roads and direct property accesses have been designed for
left in/left out only movements to the upgraded highway.

06:13 - 06:22 An interchange at Austral Park Road will provide access to Foxground
and Berry and improves the connection to Austral Park Road for local traffic. The
improvements include:
06:23 - 06:28 an extension to Austral Park Road providing access for the properties
east of the upgraded highway
06:30 - 06:36 A northbound off-ramp to the existing Princes Highway and
FoxgroundA southbound on-ramp heading to Berry
06:37 - 06:41 A two-way connector road via a highway underpass.
07:05 - 07:17 The upgraded highway will provide three bridges over Broughton
Creek, improving flood immunity on the highway. An emergency service U-turn
facility will be provided between Broughton Creek Bridge 3 and Broughton Creek
Bridge 2 on the highway
07:17 - 07:21 Wildlife crossings including rope bridges and underpasses will be
provided at known wildlife corridors to maintain connectivity across the highway.
07:31 - 07:34 Access underpasses will be provided where property accesses are
severed by the new highway.
07:36 - 07:51 The new alignment includes a bypass of the Foxground bends which
will require a 25 meter deep cutting through Toolijooa Ridge. This bypass will
provide six lanes for a distance of 1.5 kilometers, providing two lanes and a heavy
vehicle climbing lane in each direction
07:56 - 08:21 An interchange at Toolijooa Road will provide access to Toolijooa and
Foxground and Gerringong. The improvements include: A northbound on-ramp from
the existing Princes Highway to Gerringong; A southbound off-ramp for both
Toolijooa and Foxground; Realignment of Toolijooa Road with a highway underpass;
A new bus stop facility on Toolijooa Road; and A new junction at Toolijooa Road and
the existing highway.
