From Tuesday 5 October closure times will be extended to 8am and 4pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays to maximise working in daylight hours and minimise the ongoing impact of the closure.
Traffic control will be in place at Braidwood and Nelligen from 7.40am each work day to advise motorists the Kings Highway is closing at 8am and that the road will be closed by the time people reach the work area.
Despite the road closure, motorists will still be able to travel without impact from Canberra to Braidwood and Batemans Bay to Nelligen.
