Clarence Way flood immunity works – traffic impacts
Explore Councils by state
Work will start later this month (March) on two flood immunity projects on the Clarence Way at Tunglebung and Culmaran Creek that will impact motorists potentially until the end of October.
The work will involve the installation of several large culverts, the raising of the road height at both sites, and the construction of new bridge decks.
Council will construct single-lane side tracks around the two construction sites, with the sidetracks operating under traffic lights for the duration of the work.
Culmuran Creek Road also will be closed to through traffic while the work is undertaken.
As both sites are subject to flooding, Council will implement a temporary detour via Tabulam Road to the Bruxner Highway in the event the sidetracks are inundated while the work is being carried out. As the water goes up and down relatively quickly at the two sites, Council is hopeful that it will be able to re-open the sidetracks within three days of any flood water receding.
