The roadblock, which formed part of the road closures for the transportation of nuclear waste to Lucas Heights, was on Gipps Road at the Princes Motorway overpass.
At 12.15am, a 23-year-old male driver of a blue Holden Astra was travelling eastbound along Gipps Road at about 20km/h according to police when an officer called for him to stop.
Police allege the Keiraville man, who held an international drivers licence, failed to stop and hit the left knee of the officer, a senior constable from Shoalhaven LAC.
The officer then jumped on the bonnet of the car and rolled off the side.
He suffered only minor bruising from the incident.
When the car came to a stop, the officer arrested the driver.
Police said alcohol was not a factor in the incident.
Police will be taking further action over the incident and the driver will be attending court at a later date.
