Highway projects was construction of stages of a
four-lane divided carriage way from the Cross Roads at
Liverpool to near Mittagong.
Other Hume Highway projects are four-lane work
between Mittagong and Goulburn, and preliminary work
on three new bridges at North Goulburn.
Mr Whitlam said that the roadwork would be
carried out under the National Roads Act 1974.
New South Wales will receive $ 136.7 million for national
roads in the State in the period 1974-75 to 1976-77.
