The replacement of an ageing culvert on Newman Road, Wyreema / Vale View is expected to be completed in mid-February 2024, weather permitting.
TRC Infrastructure Services Committee Chair Cr Carol Taylor said recent rain events have continued to hinder progress on site.
“Wet weather over the Christmas/New Year period and into January has repeatedly filled the waterway where works are under way,” Cr Taylor said.
“Unfortunately, the rain has delayed work on site, impacting the overall construction timeline.
“The project involves replacing the existing steel pipe culvert with an upgraded concrete box culvert to help increase flood resilience and minimise damage from future flood events.
“The current detour via Shepperd Road will remain in place for the duration of construction for the safety of road users and the construction team.
“Council thanks the community for its patience during these works”.
The works are part of Council’s 2023/24 Capital Works Program and are proudly funded under the State Government’s South East Queensland Community Stimulus Program, jointly with Council.
