ROADS UPDATE-2 NOVEMBER 2022 

Temporary sealing will be carried out this week at landslip sites on Kyogle Road. Pothole patching crews are working on Bruxner Highway and Summerland Way and roadside vegetation slashing is underway on Kyogle Road.

Road construction crews continue to work on projects on Dyraaba Road, the Bruxner Highway at Mallanganee Range, and on Clarence Way at Sandilands. A construction crew is also carrying out temporary repairs to the most heavily potholed sections of Clarence Way around Medhurst.

The bridge crew at Mills Bridge on Capeen Creek Road is finishing up this week and moving on to the next double-span bridge on Capeen Creek Road where preparations will begin in readiness for piling to be carried out next week. Construction of the new Curtis Dip Bridge on Duck Creek Road is complete and once that crew has finished tidy up of the site and removal of the side track, they will move to Capeen Creek Road and start on the last load-limited bridge.

The bridge crew that completed Green Pigeon Mill Bridge late last week has now shifted to Bonalbo where they are constructing a viewing platform at the lagoon in Norman Johnston Park. Once the project is done, they will move to the far end of Collins Creek Road to replace Olesens Bridge.

At Tunglebung Creek, work is well underway on replacement of Armstrongs Bridge with the sidetrack in place, removal of the old structure complete, and the crew commencing on bulk excavation and preparation for working slabs. A bridge crew is concreting abutments and formwork at Pines Road and another is working on abutments at Iron Pot Creek Road.

Work is in progress on the replacement of a double culvert on Bolziccos Road and once this job is complete, the crew will move on to replace a culvert on Wiangaree Back Road. A second culvert crew is finalising installation of stormwater pits in Bonalbo village.

Repair of flood-damaged drainage is being done at Horseshoe Creek Road, Green Pigeon Road, Haystack Road, Baraimal Lane, Warrazambil Creek Road, Ghinni Ghi Road, Valley Road, Collins Creek Road, and Trentys Lane and flood repair grading is being carried out on Main Creek Road, Simpkins Creek Road, Blackwood Lane, and Ryans Creek Road.
