Keerrong Road Landslip and Drainage Works
Share Keerrong Road Landslip and Drainage Works on Facebook Share Keerrong Road Landslip and Drainage Works on Twitter Share Keerrong Road Landslip and Drainage Works on Linkedin Email Keerrong Road Landslip and Drainage Works linkFollowing the February 28 and March 2022 flooding events, Keerrong Road suffered extensive damage due to landslips and erosion. Funding has now been secured to complete restoration works.
The works will include excavation of slipped material adjacent to 1265 Keerrong Road, and reconstruction of the road embankment with increased drainage. The scope of works also includes a full maintenance grade of Keerrong Road, replacement of six damaged culverts and sprayed concrete erosion protection on Keerrong Bridge Road drainage outlets.
During the landslip remediation, the road will be fully closed at the works section from August 10th, requiring a detour via Pinchin Road. Motorists will be notified ahead of the closure via roadside signage, updated through northernrivers.myroadinfo.com.au, and on Your Say (details below). Residents will have access to their properties via Pinchin Road and The Channon Road but will be unable to drive through the landslip work zone.
Once landslip remediation is complete the road closure will move towards the Channon progressively, allowing pipes to be replaced. This moving closure will be communicated to affected property owners each day.
Further updates will be shared via the Community Updates tab of this page.
Additionally, to receive updates directly please contact Lismore City Council via email council@lismore.nsw.gov.au or call (02) 6625 0500 to register your details and feedback. Please reference ‘Keerrong Road Landslip and Drainage Works’ in your correspondence.

These works are subject to change to due weather conditions, availability of contractors and funding. Updates will be posted on this article.Shall you wish to be kept up to date directly, you can register your details via the Your Say ‘Submissions’ tab HERE. Alternately, please contact Lismore City Council via email council@lismore.nsw.gov.au or call (02) 6625 0500 to register your details. Please reference ‘Flood Recovery Heavy Patching Program’.
How will the works affect traffic?
Roads will be open to residential access only during the time of works. Traffic controls will be in place, which will cause minor delays and disruptions. Please note roadside signage, updates on myroadinfo and updates in the online Your Say article for communication about temporary disruptions to your property access during this period.
What do the works involve?
These roads need to be fixed to improve the structural integrity and driving conditions for road users. Works include cleaning drains and culverts, cutting off high road shoulders, digging out and replacing soft spots with rock. The gravel overlay is placed where required, before stabilising with the addition of slag lime. This is then compacted, trimmed, and sealed. Followed by line marking edge line.
The road surface may receive a final wearing seal several months after the initial bitumen seal has cured.
This pavement overlay may potentially change road levels between 0mm to +150mm and resurfacing of the existing road width due to additional layers of new road base material.
All driveways that intersect the road will match any changes to the road profile. If there are any changes, you will be contacted should your driveway/access need modification. We will also do maintenance to roadside drainage as needed.
What happens now?
If you wish to make comment on the works, we ask that you do this by 4pm Monday, 15th August 2022 referring to ‘Flood Recovery Heavy Patching Program’. Feedback can be received via any of the following:
