Nimbin Road – Flood Restoration Works (Dec 2022)

Council plans to undertake roadworks on two landslip sites on Nimbin Road that have been identified as significantly impacted by the February 2022 natural disaster, based on pre and post disaster assessments.

Funding has been secured through Transport for NSW. This funding is allocated to repair damage sustained during the February 2022 natural disaster only.

The works are expected to occur over 6 months from Mid-March 2023 subject to weather, contractor, and material availability. Traffic control lights remain in place and existing single lane traffic control will remain in place during the works period.

What do the works involve?

• Landslip repairs: Stabilisation works to allow repair of landslip and reinstatement of road and guardrail barrier
• Signs and line marking: Line marking and guideposts.
• Vegetation management: Manage roadside vegetation to remove obstacles, improve sight distances, and clearances for signage.
• Drainage maintenance: Re-excavate open drains and remove flood sediment as required. Minor drainage works will be completed prior to pavement works commencing.

Road users are advised to follow signage and expect delays as these works are completed.
