Works update – 21 November 2024

Council’s bridge crews are currently working on three bridges – one on Paddys Flat Road, one on Risk Road and Lamonds Bridge on Gradys Creek Road.

Preparation works for the replacement of Grieves Crossing Bridge on Gradys Creek Road are expected to start next week. This will involve establishing site access and implementing sediment controls.

Work on  the new bridge, which is expected to start before the end of the year, will not impact traffic as the old bridge will be retained during construction.

So far, Council has replaced 94 of the 108 timber bridges for which it has received funding.

Landslip repairs were recently completed on Boorabee Creek and Lions roads, and Council is currently working to remediate landslips on Main Creek Road, Lillian Rock Road, Kyogle Road and Dugans Road.

Further works are planned for Tabulam Road, Lions Road, and Kyogle Road.

Works to upgrade two sections of the Clarence Way, and sections of Bentley Road, and Mt Lindesay Road are close to being finished, however the ongoing rain has delayed the bitumen sealing.

Other road works underway include the replacement of a causeway on Farm Road, and heavy patching on Cawongla Road, Oxbow Road, Collins Creek Road, and Stoney Chute Road.

Council also is replacing a culvert on Homeleigh Road – a sidetrack is in place while the work is being undertaken.

Grading crews are currently working on Old Cobb O Corn Road, Webbs Road, and Bulmers Road.  Vegetation management works (slashing and cutting back overgrowth near guard rails) is being carried out on Kyogle Road, Omagh Road and Edenville Road.

Council is patching potholes on Omagh and Lynches Creek roads.
