From Tuesday to Thursday, weather permitting, night works will take place between 7pm-5am along a small stretch of the road.
If work is not complete by then, no work will be carried out on Friday or Saturday night.
Workers will make changes to line marking on the eastern side of the mountain, between 2km north of Barfield Road and Cambewarra Lookout Road, in a bid to improve safety for motorists.
Line marking will be changed at one location to allow motorists another opportunity to overtake.
There will also be changes at one other location to stop motorists from overtaking where it is not considered safe as visibility of oncoming motorists is limited.
Member for Kiama Gareth Ward said that a safety review was recently carried out which recommended line marking be changed to improve safety for motorists while overtaking on the eastern side of the mountain.
“Changes were made to overtaking opportunities when the road was resurfaced in March and Roads and Maritime apologises this was carried out prior to completing a safety review,” Mr Ward said.
“Work aims to reduce the incidence and severity of crashes at this location.
“This work will compliment recently completed road improvements which involved resurfacing, shoulder widening, installing guardrail and replacing drains near Kangaroo Valley Road.
“The NSW Government cares about getting all road users to their destinations as safely and efficiently as possible which is why this work is so vital.”
The NSW Government is funding the work as part of its $1.5 billion annual maintenance program which aims to improve the state’s 18,028km road and bridge network.
