Nowra road project: $100m East Nowra sub-arterial road plan revealed

A $100 million infrastructure plan for the East Nowra sub-arterial road (ENSAR) has been released for public display. The project aims to connect the Princes Highway with Greenwell Point Road, providing an alternative route for motorists traveling to Worrigee and coastal villages east of Nowra.

The development includes several major traffic modifications: the removal of the Jane Street overpass, reconfiguration of the Junction Street and Princes Highway intersection to improve CBD access, and the widening of North Street to two lanes in each direction to better serve shopping areas and Shoalhaven Hospital. Additionally, Moss Street will be converted to two-way traffic to enhance pedestrian safety and town center access.

Nowra High School will also be affected by the project. The ENSAR is planned to run through the school's sporting fields, which will be replaced with new, flood-free fields designed to improve drainage. The plan also includes the provision of extra on-site parking for the school.
