Safety improvement work will be carried out on the bridge by Transport for NSW, which will include truss steel repairs, maintenance to the lift span, and general routine works to the bridge deck and expansion joints.
"To minimise impact on motorists, work will be carried out from 8pm to 5am Sunday to Thursday," the transport authority stated.
"Work is expected to be complete in eight weeks, weather permitting."
The southbound bridge will be closed during the work.
All traffic will be diverted onto the northbound bridge, which will operate with one lane in each direction.
"No work will be carried out during the NSW school holidays from Sunday, April 10 to Monday, April 25," Transport for NSW stated.
Traffic control and a reduced speed limit of 40 km/h will be in place during the works for the safety of workers and motorists.
Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions, and follow the directions of signs and traffic control.
