Jervis Bay Road works put Huskisson triathlon access under watch

Triathlon Huskisson 2026 organisers must monitor the active Jervis Bay Road intersection upgrade and check whether changing construction stages affect access, participant movements and network operations before the event.

The organiser is expected to follow project updates and Live Traffic NSW information closer to the event date. Construction staging may change before the triathlon, so the event traffic plan must be assessed against current road conditions.

The requirement forms part of the approved traffic management plan and associated traffic guidance schemes for the Huskisson event. The Shoalhaven Local Transport Forum reviewed Traffic Management Plan No. D26/317170 and recommended the plan be implemented under TS05492, the traffic-control standard identified in the approval.

The Director City Services approved the recommendation under delegated authority on 1 October 2026.

The works are being considered alongside arrangements for roads around Huskisson. The event plan places all contraflow traffic arrangements in a 40 km/h speed environment, including the existing 50 km/h section of Woollamia Road.

That lower speed applies to the section covered by the event plan and was considered appropriate for participant safety and the anticipated event conditions. Drivers, residents and other road users should check traffic updates closer to the event because roadwork staging and event operations can affect access and travel conditions.

The approved arrangements also require the organiser to review pedestrian protection measures beside live traffic and provide additional positive protection where necessary. Transport for NSW raised the existing Woollamia Road speed section during the review, along with advice about event parking demand and visitor parking capacity.

The event date is not specified. The organiser’s monitoring and assessment requirements apply before Triathlon Huskisson 2026, with particular attention to the Jervis Bay Road intersection upgrade and its effect on traffic operations around the event.
