42 massive concrete girders lifted at Jesmond roundabout for Newcastle Inner City Bypass, scheduled to open in late 2025.
The Newcastle Inner City Bypass project has reached a milestone, with the first of 42 massive concrete girders lifted into place at Jesmond roundabout. The $480m Rankin Park to Jesmond section of the bypass is part of a four-lane divided road connecting the western suburbs of Newcastle. Upon completion, it is expected to provide a faster and more reliable journey, reducing crashes by approximately 30% and removing up to 30,000 vehicles daily from Lookout Road, Croudace Street, and Newcastle Road. The bypass is scheduled to open in late 2025, featuring interchanges at Newcastle Road, John Hunter Hospital, and Lookout Road.
