One side of the main Helston to Penzance road is to close after a supporting wall collapsed yesterday.
The lane closure with temporary traffic lights on Sithney Common Hill is expected to be in place for some time as the walls supports the A394 above Newham Farm.
The emergency lane closure has been established to the eastbound lane of the A394 to protect the travelling public.
Cllr Andrew Wallis said; "The lane is likely to remain closed at this location for several months whilst CORMAC Solutions Ltd carry out further investigations, followed by the implementation of an appropriate remedial solution on behalf of Cornwall Council.
"I am hopeful the road will be open as soon as possible, but the engineers need to access the area fully as there maybe unknown issues that have yet to be uncovered."
