Works to restore the embankment located near 803 Wilsons Creek Road started in early June 2025. 

This is a Design and Construct contract awarded to the contractor Quickway Constructions.

The remediation involves a combination of rockfill and a mass block retaining wall to support the failed embankment. TfNSW has approved to extend the wall a further 45m to allow for a safer road width.

Replacement of 55 culvert crossings along Wilsons Creek Road is now underway to improve drainage. Some of the works will be delivered as nightworks by Quickway Constructions.
