The investment of $1.485 million will be injected into works, which will include vehicle-activated signs, curve alignment markers, improved sealed road shoulders on curves, a full-width traversable clear zone, roadside barriers and profile edge and centre lines.
Mr Toole, also the Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, said the investment and the government's $822 million program is all about saving lives on the roads.
"Projects like these make a huge difference to locals, and help ensure everyone who travels on our roads makes it home safely at the end of the day," Mr Toole said.
"The NSW Government is committed to reducing the road toll and it is estimated the program will prevent the loss of more than 1,500 lives and serious injuries on our roads over 15 years.
