Southbound Travel Times (LIVE)

We have added additional towns to this list for the heavy holiday traffic returning after NYE. The travel times are updated live based on current traffic conditions:

Nelson Bay to Newcastle Exit: 52 mins
Newcastle CBD to Newcastle Exit: 21 mins

Newcastle Exit to Wahroonga: 1 hour 10 mins
Gosford Exit to Wahroonga: 25 mins

The listed travel times are accurate for motorists who use Google Maps to navigate the most efficient route / around accidents.

Motorists who do not use Google Maps (self navigate) OR who got caught up in a new accident (with no opportunity to divert) may experience longer travel times.

Therefore we recommend you use an internet-connected GPS app so you are routed via the most efficient path and should an accident occur, you are automatically re-routed via a faster road.
