‘‘The project will create hundreds of jobs for people in the region - providing a boost for the local economy.
‘‘The proposed improvements will also improve safety for motorists, passengers and pedestrians.’’
The animation, which shows north and southbound flyovers of the route, provides residents with an image of how the proposed project will look once work is completed, Minister for Roads Duncan Gay said.

Kiama MP Gareth Ward urged local residents to have their say on the project.
‘‘I encourage people to visit project displays at locations in Berry, Kiama, Gerringong, Nowra, Shoalhaven and Wollongong - it is essential we hear from the community about these plasn to identify any issues they may have,’’ Mr Ward said.
The environmental assessment will be on display until Monday, December 17
