Construction is set to begin on disaster recovery works to Wombeyan Caves Road and Meryla Road, delivering repairs to two critical transport links in the Southern Highlands.
The $6.1 million project follows repeated flood and storm damage across the region.
It is jointly funded by the Albanese and Minns governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) and will be carried out by Wingecarribee Shire Council.
The works will include slope stabilisation, drainage improvements and pavement reconstruction to restore safety, resilience and long-term performance across both roads.
Works on Wombeyan Caves Roadwill include reconstruction at seven separate locations, after the road was heavily damaged by floods. Construction is scheduled to start in February 2026 and finish by September 2026.
The Meryla Road repairs will take place at three separate sites. Construction is scheduled to start in February 2026 and finish by July 2026.
Works on both roads will be staged to minimise disruption, with traffic only affected in active work zones.
