Phegan's Bay works to last months
Works to stabilise the area near Phegan's Bay Rd are expected to be completed by late October, according to Gosford Council's manager of engineering services Mr John Cragg.
Mr Cragg said Council was still waiting on a final quote from geotechnical engineers for the works remaining at the site to be carried out.
The quote is expected to be approved by Council in two to three weeks.
Mr Cragg said this would involve rock bolting fallen material, ranging from between one and two tonnes, into position to ensure it would remain stationary.
He said the program of works involving rock bolting and a controlled safety plan would take an estimated two weeks to complete.
Following the work, Mr Cragg said council would monitor the area to ensure safety to all motorists and pedestrians.
According to Mr Cragg, council would remove the one-way traffic light control at the end of the monitoring period.
