The latest work to repair landslips on Lawrence Hargrave Drive will start on Tuesday 28 April.
Motorists have been warned the work could add up to 10 minutes to their travel times.
Significant rain in 2024 caused the slope above Stony Creek, just south of Bombora Way at Coalcliff, to erode and slip away.
Transport for NSW executive director Brendon James said temporary measures were put in place immediately following the impact to prevent further erosion, including installing an asphalt edge that redirected running water away from the slope via a pipe.
“This latest work will involve placing rock to stabilise the slope, clearing vegetation and soil and installing new concrete to support the guardrail,” Mr James said.
“We understand the impacts of these natural disaster events and thank motorists for their ongoing patience while repairs are completed.”

Transport for NSW has appointed UniCivil to deliver the work.
Repair work will be carried out from Tuesday 28 April on weekdays between 7 am and 5 pm and is expected to take about seven weeks to complete, weather permitting.
Stop/slow traffic control and a reduced speed limit of 40 km/h will be in place for the duration of the work.
One southbound lane will be closed on Lawrence Hargrave Drive at Coalcliff north of Paterson Road for 560 m.
Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions, follow the direction of traffic control and signage and allow an additional 10 minutes of travel time.
