Road to Recovery: Three more landslips to be fixed on Moss Vale Road

Drivers using Moss Vale Road should prepare for delays starting next week as work begins to repair three landslip sites on Cambewarra Mountain.


The stabilization project, funded by the Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA), will focus on the stretch between Green Valley Road and Cambewarra Lookout Road starting on Monday (23 February).


Transport for NSW will be deploying specialist contractors to install soil nails, apply shotcrete, and improve drainage.



Work will take place Monday to Friday, between 7am and 5pm. During these hours, motorists should expect lane closures and a reduced speed limit of 40 km/h.


Travelers are advised to factor in an extra five minutes of travel time for the duration of the 12-week project.


While most lane closures will be restricted to work hours, a more significant disruption is planned for mid-April. For roughly three weeks, a single-lane closure will remain in place 24 hours a day near Beau Cottage while roadside safety barriers are removed to facilitate repairs.



Further maintenance is also on the horizon. In late March 2026, drainage work will require overnight closures of Moss Vale Road across both Barrengarry and Cambewarra mountains.


Specific dates and times for these night-time closures will be released to the community in the coming weeks.


Since the record-breaking rainfall of 2022, 39 landslip sites have been repaired along this corridor, with 11 sites still remaining on the project list.



Member for Kiama, Katelin McInerney, noted that these works are part of a long-term recovery effort to make this critical route more resilient for locals and visitors alike.
