TRAFFIC will be detoured along Memorial Drive and Bulli Pass when Mount Ousley Road is closed for maintenance work on Sunday night.

The M1 Prince’s Motorway will be closed between Bulli Tops and Memorial Drive on Sunday May 3 while work is carried out to improve safety for motorists, weather permitting. Picton Road will also be closed between the M1 and Wilton at the same time.

If work is delayed due to poor weather, it will be carried out on Sunday May 17.

Work will include vegetation removal, guardrail repairs, line marking and drain cleaning, to improve water run-off.

The roads will be closed in both directions between 8pm and 4am on both days. Picton Road eastbound will be closed from 7.30pm to ensure the M1 is clear by 8pm.

Motorists travelling between Wollongong and Bulli Tops will be detoured via Memorial Drive and Bulli Pass, and should allow up to 15 minutes additional travel time.

Motorists travelling between Wollongong and the Hume Motorway will be detoured via Memorial Drive, Bulli Pass and Appin Road, and should allow up to 40 minutes additional travel time.

Light vehicles can also use Broughton Pass between Appin Road and Picton Road. Motorists travelling to the Hume Motorway can also detour via Macquarie Pass.

More information, including detour maps, is available at rms.work/srrc.

Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions, and to follow the directions of traffic controllers and signs.
