Motorists travelling between the NSW South Coast and Canberra are advised to expect delays as work begins on the new $148 million Nelligen Bridge.

Traffic control will be in place for the safety of workers and road users, and the Kings Highway speed limit will be reduced to 60km/h from Old Nelligen Road in the east to Reid Street in the west.

Work began on Monday, 22 February, and will take place between 7 am and 6 pm on weekdays, and 8 am and 1 pm on Saturdays, for several weeks to prepare for major construction of the new bridge.
