Jamberoo Mountain Road will be closed to traffic for more than a month to repair a damaged section above The Abbey.

Kiama Council has announced the road will closed between 9am and 4pm, Monday to Saturday for approximately five weeks from Wednesday 7 May.

This will allow a Council contractor to safely carry out the repairs to around 20 metres of road damaged by a landslide last year.

Jamberoo Mountain Road will be open outside of these hours, with one lane closed at the work site.

Traffic controls will be in place to ensure worker and driver safety.

The closure days and times have been arranged to minimise the impact on local residents and businesses.

Council would also like to remind users of Jamberoo Mountain Road that heavy vehicles, including trucks, buses and caravans are not permitted.

Drivers should also be aware night works are being conducted on Macquarie Pass between 28 April and 18 July (8pm to 4am). Picton Road and Kangaroo Valley are alternate routes during these times.
