Work on Maud St crossing has started - diversion recommended

Construction of the Maud Street crossing has recently commenced.

The refuge island on Maud St, Waratah West, has been removed, with construction having started on a signalised crossing at the junction of Maud St, Vera St and Prince St. This junction is part of the R6 City to Uni cycleway route.

Below is a map of a diversion route one could use while construction is underway. Details on the planned changes are available at https://newcastle.nsw.gov.au/about-us/news-and-updates/projects-and-works/waratah-maud-street-road-safety-improvements​​
