From Tuesday, August 16 to Thursday, August 18 motorists travelling between the Illawarra and the Southern Highlands will have to use Picton Road.
Jamberoo Mountain Road remains closed to all traffic.
Transport for NSW will be conducting repairs and maintenance during the closure, including drainage and signage repairs, electronic signage maintenance, vegetation clearing and litter collection.
The works necessitate the closure of the pass between Tourist Road and Mount Murray Road.

"Transport for NSW thanks motorists for their patience during this time."
For drivers between the Shoalhaven and the Southern Highlands, Moss Vale Road remains open, however temporary changed traffic conditions are in place due to recent landslips, including portable traffic lights permitting one lane of traffic at 40km/h in some sections.
