State Route 60 (Northern Distributor) (Bellambi to Gwynneville)

The Northern Distributor on the NSW Leisure Coast, travels from North Wollongong to Bellambi and was formerly known as the F8 Freeway under the old DMR freeway route numbers.

Beginning life in 1963, the route as it's known in 2006, wasn't completed 1993, with the Gwynneville interchange built to eliminate a traffic signal with the F6 Southern Freeway in 1998.

The route is an expressway grade arterial road from the F6 Southern Freeway at Gwynneville and uses at grade intersections between the Princes Highway overpass and its termination with Bellambi Lane, Bellambi.
