The work and night-time closures on the stretch of southbound Cumberland Street/SH1 between the Gordon St and Andersons Bay Rd intersections are now due to start on Sunday, October 12.
The roads will close at 7.30pm and reopening at 6am the following day and work is anticipated to end on Friday, October, 17.
A detour will be available for light vehicles via Jervois St, Princes St, King Edward St, Hillside Rd and Andersons Bay Rd.
For heavy vehicles, the detour will be via the Jetty St overbridge, Wharf St, Strathallan St and Andersons Bay Rd.
Those operating overweight and overdimension vehicles should refer to their permits.
Uneven surfaces, temporary speed restrictions and side road closures will be in place throughout the duration of the work.
Parking within the work site is prohibited, except where temporary access has been provided.
Access to businesses will continue but sometimes driveway access may be restricted. The BP service station on Cumberland St can be accessed as normal, but customers exiting the service station will be directed to Wolseley St.
"As much as we can, we will minimise the impact on adjacent residents and businesses, as well as the travelling public, however there will be some level of noise, in addition to the traffic disruption. We thank people in advance for their patience as this necessary work is carried out," the spokesperson said.
