The Kingsford Smith Drive upgrade has extended beyond its deadline after multiple problems with subsidence and engineering were discovered by contractor Lendlease.
Lendlease's annual report,submitted to ASX last month,noted the overall project was about 85 per cent complete and it would be finished in 2020.
"Works on Kingsford Smith Drive that were unaffected by the redesign are scheduled to be completed by the end of this calendar year,while the works on the rock anchor solution to rectify the design defect are well underway,"the annual report said.
Cr Cumming said Racecourse Road businesses had been told the road closure would initially end in March,but were later told it would be extended until May.
