Quotes attributable to the NSW Minister for Roads, Jenny Aitchison:
"Seeing the progress on the Singleton Bypass shows exactly what happens when governments genuinely invest in regional communities. This bypass is finally becoming a reality after decades of traffic, frustration and safety concerns from locals.
"With two new bridges already providing an alternate route for heavy vehicles working on the project, the benefits are being felt even before opening day.
"This is a game-changing investment in the Hunter - safer roads, stronger freight links and a smoother drive for everyone who calls Singleton the Hunter home."
Quotes attributable to Federal Member for Hunter, Dan Repacholi:
"This bypass is delivering local jobs, local investment and a long-overdue fix for congestion that has plagued Singleton for years.
"With more than 1,300 jobs supported during construction, the project is already boosting our economy, and the benefits will keep coming when the new bypass opens.
"Thank you to Transport for NSW and the entire construction workforce for the incredible progress so far."
Quotes attributable to NSW Labor spokesperson for Upper Hunter, Emily Suvval:
"This is exactly the kind of infrastructure Hunter communities have been crying out for: practical, local and life-changing.
"Removing one of the region's worst choke points will make it easier to get to work, get kids to school and get freight where it needs to go. It's a huge win for the Upper Hunter."
