Residents and motorists should expect delays along Wisemans Ferry Rd for up to six weeks as Central Coast Council carries out rehabilitation works.
Ongoing severe weather events in February, March and July of this year have impacted several sites along the road, causing dangerous conditions such as embankment failures, minor landslips and significant pavement damage.
Temporary road signage and partial road closures were put in place as an interim measure to ensure the safety of motorists and residents.
Council has now commenced remediation works to restore the road pavement and related road infrastructure to ensure motorists can safely travel through the area.
There will be ongoing works being undertaken between Spencer and Wisemans Ferry, which will impact communities and residents.
Council is carrying out these works as a priority with an anticipated timeframe of four-six weeks, subject to favourable weather and any other priorities that may arise in the area.
Residents should take extra care and drive to the conditions.
Motorists should also expect large heavy plant on the road and allow additional time for delays.
There will be Visual Messaging Boards (VMS) and traffic controllers on site but single lane road closures are expected.
Council has received $1.6M from the NSW Disaster Assistance Arrangements to conduct the works on Wiseman Ferry Rd and several other locations across the Coast.
