Works update – 12 May 2026

/in
Work on the new Methvens Bridge on Gradys Creek Road has started now that construction of a sidetrack around the old bridge has been completed.
The bridge crew has removed the old Doolan deck from the bridge and is prepping the existing substructure ready to install new planks and girders. The new girders are expected to be delivered later this week.
The new Montgomerys Bridge on Iron Pot Creek Road is also taking shape, with work on the western headstock progressing and work on the western side abutment expected to start this week. All going to schedule and weather permitting, the new bridge should be finished by the end of August.
Work is expected to start soon on the new pedestrian bridge which will connect Clarkes Lane and Daleys Lane. The pedestrian bridge is part of a larger project that when complete will deliver a 5km loop of continuous shared pathways for pedestrians and cyclists linking Geneva to New Park.
After the pedestrian bridge is built, crews will then begin work on a 2.5-metre-wide shared path that will connect Daleys Lane and Clarkes Lane. This path will join up with existing footpaths located on Summerland Way near the football fields and Saville Street, Geneva.
The new loop will support pedestrian and cycle traffic, improving safety, accessibility, and active transport options for the community.
Other work crews are patching potholes on the Summerland Way and Bruxner Highway, grading Lindsay Creek Road after working on Hootons Road last week, and undertaking roadside slashing on Bentley Road.
Work on Summerland Way at The Risk and 1.5km south of the Queensland border is continuing, with crews preparing to complete the final seal and install guardrails at The Risk. This work is dependent on the weather. Crews working just south of the Queensland border are replacing culverts.
Meanwhile, sealing and asphalt works on the Clarence Way south of Bonalbo near Medhurst Quarry has been completed, with line marking all that is left to be done.
Repairs to the final landslip on Lions Road caused by the 2022 floods are moving ahead and are expected to be completed by early June, weather permitting.
Other repairs to the road, including stabilising work, have been delayed due to ongoing wet weather. Rehabilitation crews have moved on to Gradys Creek Road, with overlay and stabilisation works underway.
Motorists are reminded that work sites on Lions Road are under traffic control and the road is open to light traffic only.
Council continues to monitor the landslip on Iron Pot Creek Road, while work on the Forest Road landslip is progressing and repair work has started on a landslip on Horseshoe Creek Road.
Work to repair a landslip on Hillyards Road is expected to start in the next couple of weeks.
