Regency to Pym project on home stretch – finishing early and under budget
The Regency Road to Pym Street (R2P) project is on the fast track to early completion in a major win for road users and local businesses.
The $354 million R2P project, jointly funded by the Morrison and Marshall Governments, is expected to open to traffic in late April 2021, months ahead of schedule with expected savings of between $20 million to $40 million.
Full project completion which includes landscaping, ITS commissioning and final asphalting is scheduled to be complete for the end of 2021, instead of early 2022.
Having started on the Marshall Liberal Government’s watch, the congestion busting R2P project is being delivered seamlessly while creating 210 jobs per year during construction.

State police charged a 21-year-old Blairsville man with driving under the influence of alcohol after, they say, he crashed and abandoned a car Jan. 21 in Derry Township.
When a person walking along Torrance Road noticed a damaged white Kia sedan sitting along the Conemaugh River bank the next morning, multiple fire departments from both counties, river rescue units and police departments were dispatched to search the area.
Trooper Gregory Frank said initial responders found no operator but did locate footprints in the snow leading back up to the rural road. Frank said troopers, working with Blairsville police Chief Michael Allman, later identified the woman who owned the car, but she reported her boyfriend, Mitchell Lee Hillis of Blairsville, had been driving it.
