The work requires Jenolan Caves Road (also known as the Five Mile) to be closed from 6am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday (inclusive) from Duckmaloi Road to the Grand Arch at Jenolan Caves.
The Blue Lake and River Walks and pedestrian access to the Grand Arch will also be closed.
Alternative access to Jenolan Caves is via Edith Road (also known as the Two Mile Road). Unfortunately, coaches and buses greater than 12-seat capacity cannot use this road to reach Jenolan Caves.
Restoring the Blue Lake is important to protect the platypus habitat.
