This second section of pathway will be constructed along the southern side of South Head Road, utilising the existing pedestrian refuge island as a crossing point.
The Eurobodalla Shire Council said existing power poles require the road to be realigned to the north to provide room for the new pathway.
The road realignment includes new kerb and existing driveways will be reconstructed to suit; extra-wide driveway ramps will help drivers reverse out of properties.
The pathway will continue to be rolled out in stages; the first stage of the project - a stretch of path east of Halyard Drive - was completed last year.
The project is funded by the NSW Government's Active Transport Program, and is designed to improve access and safety for pedestrians and cyclists by connecting existing paths in Moruya and Moruya Heads.
The work will impact on traffic flow and commuters may experience delays. Traffic control measures will be in place and drivers should take extra care when moving through the site to keep workers safe.
Individual residents will be contacted by the site supervisor if property access will be affected. This section of the pathway is expected to be finished by the end of June, weather permitting.
