THE Bells Creek Arterial Road 8km extension will officially open to the public at 2pm today, making it easier for residents to travel back and forth from Aura to Beerwah.
The $70 million project was co-funded by Stockland and the State Government, with the government investing $35 million to it.
“Bells Creek Arterial Road now spans nearly 12-kilometres and will bust congestion on the Sunshine Coast, thanks to local member Jason Hunt’s tireless advocacy, and the workers who got the job done,” Transport and Main Roads Minister, Mark Bailey, said.
State Member for Caloundra, Jason Hunt, said the project will make travel times quicker for a wide range of residents on the Sunshine Coast.
“This new road will cut travel times for the people of the southern Sunshine Coast, which is great news,” he said.
“The Bells Creek Arterial is eight kilometres of good news for our region, unlocking jobs for our young people and more commercial investment.”
