The Department of Infrastructure says the Mountain Road is unlikely to open this weekend.
On Facebook, it says more freezing weather looks set to bring further wintry showers along the route.
It closed the length of the road earlier today after heavy snow overnight.
The DOI says it'll continue monitoring conditions and will reopen it sooner if it's safe to do so - but adds it's likely to open again on Monday, February 16.
