Abergeldie, NSW,

Abergeldie Complex Infrastructure has been awarded the contract for construction of the $100 million Pitt Town bypass.

Abergeldie Complex Infrastructure will build the bypass which will connect Pitt Town Road with Cattai Road and feature two new roundabouts and a bridge across Hortons Creek.

Construction work on the 950 metre bypass will start in coming months.

More than 10,000 vehicles use the existing road every day and traffic volumes in the peak are expected to increase by 40 per cent in coming years.

The new bypass will provide an alternative to driving through Pitt Town and significantly reduce the number of trucks driving through the town centre.

It will also reduce travel times, especially between Windsor and Wisemans Ferry, while improving safety and amenity for road users and the community.

These improvements to the road network will enhance flood resilience for local residents by improving traffic flow and road safety in and around Pitt Town, which will be vital if there is a need for future emergency evacuations.

Key features of the bypass include:

  • Extending Pitt Town Road past Bathurst Street onto Cattai Road, east of Eldon Street
  • Installing a new single lane roundabout at Eldon Street and Old Pitt Town Road
  • Closing a portion of Cattai Road to maintain access to Buckingham Street
  • Providing new bridge crossings of Hortons Creek
  • Installing a new single lane roundabout at Pitt Town Road/Bathurst Street and Glebe Road.

The Pitt Town bypass is expected to open to traffic in late 2026.

Abergeldie CEO Mark Bruzzone said, “We are proud to be delivering this essential infrastructure for the Pitt Town community. With our expertise in complex road projects and long-standing relationship with Transport for NSW, we look forward to working closely with all stakeholders to enhance connectivity and safety in the region.”
