Hunter Expressway
The M15 Hunter Expressway, which was known as the F3 to Branxton link during planning and earlier known as the Kurri Kurri Corridor is a link road in New South Wales, Australia, originally proposed in 1988. Funding of A$1.5 billion for the road construction was announced in the 2009 Australian federal budget, with construction to commence in 2010. The planned opening date is 20 September 2013.
The link road will be a 39.5-kilometre (24.5 mi) long dual carriageway freeway with two lanes in each direction, running generally north west from the F3 at the Newcastle Link Road interchange to the eastern end of the Belford Bends Deviation on the New England Highway north of Branxton. The road will allow traffic to bypass the Maitland area, Lochinvar, Greta and Branxton.

Famous quotes containing the word hunter:
“and the words never said,
And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
We sat in the car park till twenty to one
And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
