Motorists travelling on the Hume Highway will be forced to endure further delays near Marulan with Transport for NSW announcing its next round of repairs.
Transport for NSW has advised that the concrete road surface will be replaced with asphalt on the northbound lanes and shoulders of the Hume Highway from Medway Road for 1.3 kilometres north.
Work will be carried out between 7am and 7pm, seven days a week, from Monday, May 4 to Wednesday, June 3, weather permitting.
There will also be intermittent night work between 7pm and 7am, weather permitting.
Northbound traffic will be diverted onto the southbound lanes under contraflow for the duration of the work.
Access to the Hume Highway northbound from Medway Road at the roundabout will be closed. Detours will be in place via George Street.
The northbound Heavy Vehicle Safety Station at this location will be closed until the work is completed.
A reduced speed limit of 80 km/h will be in place and road users are being advised to allow up to 20 minutes of additional travel time. Friday afternoon and weekend travel times may vary.
Over size, over mass vehicles wider than 4.5 metres will need to contact traffic control and use the designated pullover areas to arrange access through the work area.
Access to Marulan town centre and service stations in both directions at Marulan will be unaffected by this work.
Transport for NSW has come under harsh criticism for works undertaken on the highway in recent months with motorists saying delays have been seriously underestimated.
As previously reported in The Southern Wire, Transport for NSW Executive Director Partnerships and Integration South, Cassandra French, has said that rehabilitation works on the highway using high-strength asphalt instead of concrete will help improve its long-term performance.
