Upgrading of a 2.6-kilometre stretch of the Kings Highway will start next week, creating delays for motorists travelling to and from the South Coast.
The section of the highway at Foxs Elbow Road in Larbert, about 20 minutes from Braidwood, will be modified to include a right-hand turning bay to make it safer for drivers turning off the high-speed section of the highway into the rural residential road. A feeder lane onto the highway will be built for drivers turning west.
Centre lines and road shoulders will also be widened to create more traffic separation.
