Works update – 6 December 2023

The first 1.2km section of the Clarence Way to be upgraded as part of the major Clarence Way Upgrade Project was sealed last week. This section of the Clarence Way is at Sandy Creek.

The second section of the road to be sealed, a 1.1km section of the Clarence Way at Bean Creek, is scheduled to be completed next week.

Both crews will then move on to adjoining sections of the Clarence Way.

Construction crews are still completing drainage works on the Bruxner Highway at Mallanganee Range in preparation for the pavement works.

Work to reseal Short Street, Kyogle, is continuing, while line-marking will soon be carried out on Kyogle Road.

Council will start work tomorrow (Thursday) on the initial seal of an 800 metre section of Findon Creek Road from the intersection with Long Creek Road.

Meanwhile, a grading crew is working in the Roseberry Creek catchment.

Work on Brindle Creek Road Bridge is on schedule to be completed before Christmas, while girders are expected to be installed on the Eight Day Creek Bridge on Needhams Road next week. It too is expected to be open by mid-December.

Construction work continues on Askews Bridge on Askews Dip Road and Gambleys Bridge on Gambleys Road, and the new Back Creek Bridge on Kyogle Road.

Pilling work has started on the new bridge planned for Rodgers Road.

Remediation of the three major landslips on Lions Road has been completed, while work is still in progress on landslips on Gabal and Dugans roads. Work on the Gabal Road landslip is scheduled to be completed by late January.
