General Information:
State Route 121 is a significant north-south route north of Newcastle, connecting the Newcastle CBD and southern suburbs to the Port Stephens area. It consists or both arterial road and rural highway qualities and passes through both industrial, farming and tourist areas.
State Route 121 is duplexed with State Route 124 along Industrial Drive, Mayfield for about 1.5 kilometres.
Nelson Bay Road connects the Tomaree and Tilligerry Peninsulas to Newcastle and Sydney. The long and narrow width of the peninsulas means that access to and from them is restricted to this one road. Nelson Bay Road also provides connection to current and future local and regional employment areas, namely Newcastle Airport, Thornton/Beresfield, Tomago, Kooragang and Carrington. 2
