The access road to Danjera Dam at Yalwal is being upgraded, with the work scheduled to continue until March 2024.
Shoalhaven Water executive manager Rob Horner said it was necessary to close off the entire recreation area because the work included widening the access road.

An assessment in early December will determine if this is possible.
"We know families love to swim, canoe and fish at the area over the summer, so if it's safe to do so, we will make access available to day-trippers over the Christmas break," Mr Horner said.
