Wallace Road - Geotechnical drilling will be continuing this week, to remedy the landslip 1.3km from Tuntable Creek Road.

Nimbin Road - Temporary side-track works are in place south of Shipway Road, to reduce traffic stoppages. Design is underway on a complicated site. Please drive with care.

Tuntable Creek Road - Investigation works continue to establish the feasibility of a side track to facilitate local access to Nimbin north of Rose Road.

Keerrong Road - The bridge piling has been completed. Bridge construction works are now underway.

Repentance Creek Road - No further road closures are planned. The road is currently a gravel surface, while asphalt contractor scheduled works are confirmed. Speed has been reduced to 60KM due to loose gravel. Please drive with care.

Dunoon Road – The road is open, with caution to traffic. Pavement has been placed, with the final stages being the seal to go ahead this week.

Duncan Road - Funding has been approved to heavy patch stabilise damaged sections, and work has begun.

The Channon Road- Geotechnical investigations are now complete. Reconstruction will be dependent on design of proposed embankment.

The Channon Road (Robertson Bridge)- Remediation works of the abutments is planned for the coming weeks. Traffic control will be onsite, motorists are advised to drive with caution.

Pinchin Road (embankment failure)- Works are scheduled following the completion of Robertson Bridge. Possible road closure may be required, which will be advised closer to the date.

Works planned for Ross Road (culvert has been cleared) and Black Road (washed out causeway) have now been completed.

Fernside Bridge has deteriorated significantly since Council received a Level 2 Structure Condition Report of the bridge. This detailed condition assessment was conducted by an independent company, engaged by Lismore City Council. Following the condition assessment, the following immediate recommendations were issued to Council:

• Implement a load limit of 3.5 tonne (GVM) as a priority.
• Undertake temporary repairs involving propping the outer foundation piles with a load path from a solid section of the cross beam to a solid section of the piles in order to provide structural support and mitigate any further cantilevering of the cross beams and running deck.

In the interest of public safety, it was necessary for Council to take immediate action and implement the recommendations as outlined in the consultant’s report.

As an interim measure, it is proposed to construct a temporary crossing (side-track) which is currently planned to be installed on the downstream side of the current bridge site and will be open to traffic on 29 July 2022.

The side-track, which will be located within the road reserve, will not be load limited and will provide for heavy vehicle access across the creek, and will be in place until Fernside Bridge is either repaired or replaced, depending on NSW Government grant submission approval.

Signage has been installed to notify motorists. Further details and updates can be found below in the 'Community Updates' tab. We encourage the Q+A function to be used, so we may share information with those who have similar questions.

Lismore City Council is continuing works to repair roads following significant flood damage. Urgent work is required to repair multiple sections of Keerrong Road, which includes a culvert collapse, areas of severe pavement damage and a large landslide.

The collapsed culvert structure, located north of the intersection with Dudgeon Road will be replaced with a new concrete bridge.

Works will be undertaken to repair the sealed pavement section approximately 1-3km from Nimbin Road, improving access for road users. These works are temporary as Council is currently seeking funding for the repair and full restoration cannot be completed with current weather conditions.

Investigations are underway into the large landslide located near The Channon Road end to determine full restoration treatments.

What do the works involve?

• Re-shape the sealed pavement section to temporarily restore pavement formation
• Installing a concrete InQuik bridge structure, 7.2m wide by 16.1m long at the culvert site
• Geotechnical investigation and design for the large landslide near The Channon Road

When will the works start?

Bridge works and temporary road works are expected to be finalised by August 31, 2022.

These works may be subject to delays due to weather events. Updates will be posted on the online article listed below. A date for the permanent restoration of the sealed pavement sections and the large landslide will be advised once funding had been confirmed.

What are the traffic adjustments?

Road users are advised to be aware of works being completed, and to slow down in work zones. Further traffic information will be listed on northernrivers.myroadinfo.com. Please allow additional travel time.
