Feedback invited on Jesmond to Rankin Park ‘missing’ link The refined strategic design of the fifth and final stage of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass, joining Rankin Park and John Hunter Hospital with Jesmond, has been released by Roads and Maritime Services (RMS). The Newcastle Inner City Bypass has been developed in stages over 30 plus years. The first stage, Rankin Park to Kotara, was opened back in 1983. The most recent addition, the fourth stage, was the Shortland to Sandgate stretch which opened to traffic in 2014. As it stands the 3.4 km four lane stretch from Rankin Park to Jesmond will skirt the western side of the hospital then head north through bushland to come out at the junction of Newcastle Road and the Jesmond to Shortland section of the Bypass. The new roadway will allow motorists to avoid 11 sets of traffic lights along the existing route and reduce congestion on the surrounding network of roads including Croudace Street, (continued page 2)

Many local residents received this 8-page publication detailing the current strategic design for the Rankin Park to Jesmond link of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass. RMS welcomes feedback until 9th June.
