Motorists will soon experience a quicker but safer journey through Taren Point Road at The Boulevarde and Captain Cook Drive at Caringbah.
The NSW Government is carrying out the work as part of the $100 million Congestion and Safety Program which aims to reduce congestion and improve safety throughout the State.
Roads and Maritime Services will be making improvements to the intersection of Taren Point Road, The Boulevarde and Captain Cook Drive at Caringbah.
The high number of vehicles turning right from Taren Point Road into The Boulevarde is resulting in congestion.
Work to reduce this congestion involves widening Taren Point Road to provide an additional right turning lane which will allow more southbound vehicles to travel through the intersection during each traffic light phase.
Work includes realigning the north-western corner of the intersection to allow for the road widening as well as relocating and widening the existing pedestrian crossing and kerb ramps on The Boulevarde.
The existing utilities on the south-western corner of the intersection will be replaced along with the existing foot path and fencing.
Work will include altering two signalised pedestrian crossings on Taren Point Road at the northern and southern ends of the intersection.

💚💛Australia is making an extraordinary showing at the 2024 Paralympics in Paris, currently holding 41 medals — 11 gold 🥇, 12 silver 🥈, and 18 bronze 🥉!
A special shout out to Alexa Leary (@alexa_leary), who not only claimed gold but also broke the women’s 100m freestyle S9 world record! 🌟 That’s after her incredible recovery and resilience from a near-fatal accident in 2021.
Another big shout out to Dan Michel (@Dan_Michel) from Cronulla who won silver for Boccia Men’s Individual BC3!
With our team competing across 17 sports, there’s still plenty of action left and more chances to add to our medal haul! Let’s keep cheering them on 💚💛 #Paralympics #TeamAustralia ... See MoreSee Less

I bet you are still supporting the Yes vote for a voice to parliament even though we voted against it. You are definitely one of Australian Labor Party best supporter, another Lib minister that wishes he was Labor minister
While you remain leader of the NSW Liberals they will never make it back into government. I have Voted Liberal for 45years and never have I seen a weaker leader , you are an embarrassment. You have not only damaged state Liberal Party but now you are a risk to the Federal Liberal party. Bo one knew who you were until this latest debacle and now we do we want you gone.

You can help this cause by buying a Legacy badge from any volunteer around the Sydney CBD and across NSW this week.

And what is the Liberal Party's legacy? I can't tell you how badly the Liberal Party has failed us. As a member of the Australian Jewish Community, voting for candidates in our council election will be near impossible. I can't vote Greens, or Labor, and most of our independent candidates are a very poor option. You have failed us at the most important time. Antisemitism is through the roof, and we have very little support in council. Now we have less.
Hi Mark. We are liberal voters. Georgia Ryburn is unfit to be Pittwater MP. Liberal Party should not preselect her as the candidate. Georgia Ryburn has never lived in Pittwater in her entire life, also there are scandals about her which will bring the Liberal Party into disrepute. Liberal Party should preselect Michael Gencher who is Pittwater Ward Councillor. Thank you for your service. You are our great leader. Wishing you all the best, Mark!
