  Orion Street

  Road closure Monday 25th – 29th July from Keen Street roundabout to Molesworth Street. Local Access Only from Dawson Street. Due to the slumping on Orion Street, geotechnical drilling will be undertaken to determine the depth of the slip plane and options for remediation. (Updated and postponed due to illness in the specialist contracting team)

  Koonorigan Road

  Works are commencing on making a temporary side-track over the slip at Koonorigan Road, suitable for local access. Funding approval has been received to heavy patch the seal on The Channon side of the slip. This work is currently being scheduled.

  Approval has been received for the proposed scope of work to heavy patch six sections of Nimbin Road.

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.
