Transport for NSW will begin slope stabilisation on the Kings Highway as part of the second stage of NSW Government funded Natural Disaster Recovery work.

A Transport for NSW spokesperson said the work was important to improve safety and resilience on the vital stretch of highway.

"We've prioritised this work for the Kings Highway to improve safety for our customers, and prevent the land slips that have been experienced in the past during weather events," the spokesperson said.

"Work includes installing soil nails and shotcrete to help stabilise the slopes in one key area, and rock bolting on other slopes. Additional remediation work including further rock bolting will be carried out early next year. "

"Safety is our number one priority, and we are committed to making the Kings Highway safer by installing up to 70 rock bolts along this stretch, at a total cost of $700,000.

"This safety measure will help prevent landslides from occurring at this location and help support up to 20 jobs."

"Work will be carried out on weeknights from November 15 to December 16 to ensure this important work is completed in time for the Christmas break.
