Work will be carried out between 7am and 6pm on weekdays, and 7am and 1pm on Saturdays.
This work will be carried out by up to 20 workers at any one time, including Roads and Maritime staff and contractors.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane, alternate flow during work hours, with traffic control and a reduced speed limit of 40 km/h in place for the safety of workers and motorists.
RMS advises motorists to drive to the conditions, and follow the direction of signs and traffic control. They thank motorists for their patience during this time.
