Additionally, if there is a road you would like specific flood restoration updates on, please register your contact details via our notification list form.
CURRENT WORKSBlue Knob Road
Progress on the Blue Knob Road landslip project is progressing well. The drilling and soil nail installation at the first site are complete, and testing is scheduled for early August. Meanwhile, drilling has begun at the second site, and clearing and excavation work are underway at the third and fourth sites.
Eureka RoadDuring this busy month at the construction site, significant advancement has been made. The installation of the side track, driven steel piles, bridge abutments, and rock scour protection is now complete. Towards the end of July, crews completed the bridge deck pour with concrete curing now underway. Following these tasks, the bridge approach works are scheduled to commence in early August.
Graham RoadConstruction activities for culvert replacement are currently in progress at the site. During the past month, the installation of the side track, piling, and steel driving piles were completed. This allowed crews are to commence installation of bridge components, abutment blinding layer and concrete pour of abutments, all of which are now accomplished. The bridge pour is scheduled for early August with backfilling of abutments to follow prior to bridge opening to motorists.
Haywood Lane
Works crews have been busy at site completing the installation of a side track, driven steel piles and bridge abutments. Towards the end of the month placement of rock scour protection, abutment backfilling and bridge deck installation was also accomplished. This made way for the steel works to be finalised with a deck concrete pour completed on July 23. Approach works will commence following completion of Eureka Road works.
Leycester Road
Pavement rehabilitation is progressing well with approximately 250m of open drains completed and two culvert replacements installed. Over the next 4-5 weeks, open drainage and culvert works will continue with granular overlay to follow. Bice and Yeager Roads grading will be delayed due to these works.
Newton Drive
Repairs are continuing for installation of a new culvert after the previous culvert failed. The road has been slightly diverted as works take place.
Gravel Roads – Multiple Sites
Works continue for grading over 150 kms of unsealed gravel roads, which suffered substantial damage due to declared natural disasters in December 2023 and April 2024. The most severely affected roads receive highest priority to expedite critical route restoration. This ambitious project, one of the largest of its kind, involves Council deploying six distinct work crews, strategically clustered geographically to optimise efficiency and resource allocation. Recently completed roads include Gungas Road, Upper Coopers Creek Road, Minyon Falls Road, Wallace Road and Pinchin Road.
Rogerson RoadWith weather remaining on our side this month at Rogerson Road, construction works were able to continue. The works included four separate concrete pours to produce two custom-sized concrete headwalls, these two headwalls alone saw a total volume of almost 100 cubic metres of concrete.
Terania Creek Road
Excitingly, works are now completed for Bridge 3. Crews have completed the concrete approaches at Bridge 2, with installation of structure restraining brackets and concrete footings for guardrail completed. The temporary side track was also removed, and installation of the guardrail is scheduled in the coming weeks. Bridge 1 has works commenced on the concrete approaches following successful installation of a side track.
FUTURE WORKSRepentance Creek Road
Works will commence 19 August 2024 on Repentance Creek Road. The works will occur for approximately 8 weeks, subject to weather conditions. The road will remain open with works completed under stop/go traffic control to have minimal impact on residents, delays are expected.
