MOTORISTS are advised by Transport for NSW that Lawrence Hargrave Drive will be closed for one night this week at Stanwell Park for routine maintenance work.

Due to the extreme and catastrophic fire danger ratings last month, the work planned for Monday November 11 has been rescheduled for Sunday December 15, weather permitting.

The road will be closed in both directions between Lady Wakehurst Drive and Railway Crescent from 8pm to 4am.

This work includes trimming vegetation, clearing drains and litter collection as well as repairs to the road surface, guardrail and signs to improve safety for road users.

This rescheduled maintenance work coincides with planned rail trackwork. Buses will be replacing trains between Dapto and Central from 2am Saturday December 14 to 2am Monday December 16.

To minimise impact to train service times, provisions have been made to allow these buses through the work area during the closure.

All other vehicles will be required to follow the detour during work times via the M1 Princes Motorway, Bulli Pass and Lawrence Hargrave Drive.

More information about upcoming road closures, including detour maps are available at rms.work/srrc.

Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions, follow the directions of signs and traffic control, and allow an additional 30 minutes travel time.
