Mount Ousley Road closure will allow for maintenance work

THE M1 Princes Motorway (Mt Ousley Road) and Picton Road will be closed this month to allow for regular maintenance work.

The M1 Princes Motorway will be closed between Bulli Tops and Memorial Drive, and Picton Road will be closed between the M1 Princes Motorway and Almond Street, Wilton on Sunday, November 14, weather permitting.

Work will include vegetation removal, guardrail repairs, line marking and cleaning drains to improve safety for motorists.

The roads will be closed in both directions and detours will be in place between 8pm and 4am. Picton Road eastbound will be closed from 7.30pm to 4am to ensure the M1 Princes Motorway 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 Wilton Road (Broughton Pass) between Appin and Picton roads.

Motorists travelling to the Hume Motorway can also detour via the Illawarra Highway (Macquarie Pass).

Transport for NSW advises motorists to drive to the conditions, and follow the directions of signs and traffic control.
