The new piece of infrastructure, which is a significant milestone in the project to upgrade one of the busiest feeder roads to the Hunter Expressway, opened on Thursday.
All stages of the Gingers Lane upgrade and Hart Road roundabout construction are now complete.
Stage Four of the Gingers Lane project saw the road rebuilt from Stringybark Place to the new Hart Road roundabout at the intersection of Gingers Lane with Government Road, Sawyers Gully Road and Hart Road.
The Hart Road roundabout construction was made possible with funding from Transport for NSW totalling $1.8 million.
