Council works reduce the risk of falling rocks and stabilise the road cutting.
The cutting, excavated more than 70 years ago, is constantly exposed to the elements. Council has maintained the area through minor works for some time but now major intervention is required.
Motorists are encouraged to use an alternative route during this time.
Council apologises to residents for the inconvenience the road closure may cause.
