Traffic will be diverted on to separated lanes between Mount Pleasant to Toolijooa Road to allow work to be completed.
One lane will be open in each direction just north of Belinda Street to Toolijooa Road until all lanes open in late August, weather permitting.
This traffic diversion will allow workers to complete line marking and install median barriers.
Some night work will be carried out between 6pm and 7am from Monday, July 27 to Thursday, July 30 to prepare for the upcoming traffic diversion, with traffic control and a reduced speed limit of 40km/h in place.
From July 30, northbound motorists will be able to access Belinda Street and Willowvale Road via the new off-ramp south of Willowvale Road.
Motorists will also be able to access the Princes Highway from the new Belinda Street northbound on-ramp from July 30.
“Motorists will notice signs and guardrails being installed and landscaping work carried out until the end of August,” Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier for the Illawarra and South Coast Gareth Ward said.
“Work to apply the final road surface will be carried out later in the year during warmer weather to ensure the surface is able to form most effectively.”
