Kiama Council’s contractor and work crews have been making good progress with the repairs to the Jamberoo Mountain Road landslip.
The contractor, Ground Stabilisation Systems, is 2 weeks into their 5-week program and so far, remain on schedule.
They’ve completed installing all 24 of the 6m 24 soil nails underpinning the road and applied 40m2 of shotcrete to the face of the wall.
Our works crews have also been busy with maintenance and betterment works.
This includes cleaning out around 500m of stormwater drains, as well as debris built up on guard rails.
They’re also trimming roadside vegetation to improve the line of sight for motorists and have identified and removed any hazardous trees or branches.
Thanks to the local community as well as other regular road users while this work goes on.

The road is open outside of these hours, with one lane closed at the work site.
