This assessment brief outlines the New South Wales Government's proposal to upgrade a 10.5 kilometre section of the F3 freeway from Tuggerah to Doyalson, including pavement strengthening and widening the freeway from four to six lanes. The upgrade will increase the productivity of the freeway and enhance connectivity for passenger and freight vehicles between the central coast and Sydney by improving the existing road network and reducing congestion. The New South Wales Government is seeking $100 million in Commonwealth funding for the project.

The Office of the Infrastructure Coordinator recommends that the project be included on the Infrastructure Priority List as Threshold, with conditions.
