Flood Restoration - Roads & Bridges
You will find all the latest repair works for Flood Restoration - Roads and Bridges Program. All current works that have updates are categorised by project name. If viewing via a smartphone, you can find the 'Projects by Road Name' at the bottom of this page.
Why was this page designed?
Since the February 2022 natural disaster, we have had an extended period of wet weather, which has significantly affected our road network. It rained three out of four days between November 2021 and April 2022.
This resulted in 90% of our 1200km road network suffering extensive damage, with an estimated $200 million to rebuild and repair. Significant damage also occurred to many bridges, causeways, reinforced concrete pipes, reinforced concrete box culverts and footpaths across our road network. Some key access roads have been reduced to single lanes due to landslips.
Immediately after flood waters receded, our road crews conducted emergency repairs on more than 80 roads to allow access for residents. Several construction crews worked extended hours to ensure damaged roads were reopened/made safe as soon as possible. As the repairs progress, we will provide more detailed updates on the specific flood-related damage to our road network and information on how you can report damaged roads to Council.
Assessments are underway at the larger and more complex damaged sites. There are specific engineering tasks in some areas which are necessary and will take time. Some sites may see temporary measures such as side-track access, temporary pothole repair and gravel roads before permanent construction works at these locations commence. Planning will continue to ensure works are undertaken as quickly as possible. Priorities are based on public safety with consideration of further damage, maintaining access and links between communities, hierarchy of roads and efficiency of results.
What process does Council have to go through when we have a 'disaster event'?
When we experience a natural disaster such as a flood event, which causes significant damage to our infrastructure, there are a number of steps that Council has to go through, like an insurance claim process. Council identifies, assesses and then makes a claim for the damage from the appropriate funding body. As we do not have the money to pay for these kind of extraordinary events from our day to day budgets. There are strict rules regarding documentation.
There are multiple steps in this process including design investigation, final design, approval, scheduling of work crews and/or engagement of contractors so there can be a long lag time from the actual event to the rectification works being started and completed. The table below shows further details and indicative timings for the steps in this process: (All timings are subject to weather, contractor and material availability)
Major Flood Recovery Works Map
Flood restoration works are critical to repairing damages caused by previous natural disasters and getting life back on track. However, these works can be complex, especially when dealing with large-scale disasters like the February 2022 event. At Lismore City Council, we understand the challenges that come with flood restoration works and are proud to launch this interactive map focusing on major flood recovery works within the Lismore LGA to assist the community with finding efficient, up-to-date information. Please note, timeframes are subject to change in the next few months as the project delivery strategy evolves.

Town Road - Bridge Installation (Aug 2023)
Share Town Road - Bridge Installation (Aug 2023) on Facebook Share Town Road - Bridge Installation (Aug 2023) on Twitter Share Town Road - Bridge Installation (Aug 2023) on Linkedin Email Town Road - Bridge Installation (Aug 2023) linkWe wish to provide an update on the Town Bridge replacement project in light of recent construction issues experienced onsite and advise of subsequent delays to the project as a result.
What has caused the delay?
As you will be aware, piling works have recently been completed which included the installation of four bored, reinforced concrete piles. Unfortunately, two of the piles are defective and do not meet the design requirements of the project. As a result, these two piles need to be abandoned and can no longer form part of the bridge structure.
What does this mean for the project?
The next step for the project will be a partial re-design of the bridge structure including the piles and abutments. During this time, there will be no works performed onsite. We are working closely with our contractors and consultants to resolve these issues as soon as possible. Once the re-design has been completed, construction works will recommence and will include additional piling works, construction of the abutments and installation of the new steel bridge. No additional project costs are anticipated as a result of these issues or the additional works outlined.
Unfortunately, it is likely the re-design and additional piling will result in an approximate three-month delay to the completion of the project. However, we remain confident that the new bridge will be completed by Christmas.
What do I need to do?
Please continue to use the temporary access road at low speed, obey adjusted speed limits and drive carefully.
Who should I contact with questions/ concerns?
We apologise for this un-planned delay and will provide a further update prior to works recommencing onsite. Should you wish to contact us directly with any questions or comments, or register your contact details to receive updates, please call (02) 6625 0500 or email floodrecoveryroadsbridges@lismore.nsw.gov.au and include the title ‘Town Bridge Replacement project ’.

Share Road Speed Limits (Jul 2023) on Facebook Share Road Speed Limits (Jul 2023) on Twitter Share Road Speed Limits (Jul 2023) on Linkedin Email Road Speed Limits (Jul 2023) linkHow Road Speed Limits are set
As our roads continue to improve after the 2022 natural disaster, it is important that we all adhere to posted speed limits as they are designed to protect you and others on the road.
Speed limits are set to ensure drivers can safely respond to potential risks on the road. They are set to manage the risk of crashes and minimise the force that road users are exposed to.
Speed limits and reviews are managed by Transport for NSW (TfNSW), not Council, and are determined by several crucial factors. These include:- Crash risk
- Road characteristics (alignment, lane width and access points)
- Road function
- Roadside development
- Traffic characteristics
- At-risk locations
- The presence of vulnerable road users

During July, flood remediation drainage works were completed on Cawongla Road.
CURRENT WORKS
Nimbin Road
Roadworks have commenced on two landslip sites on Nimbin Road that have been identified as significantly impacted by the February 2022 natural disaster. Funding was secured through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangement (DRFA). This funding is allocated to repair damage sustained during the February 2022 natural disaster only.
Works have already commenced at both sites, with Site 1 is approximately 1 km from Nimbin and Site 2 is approximately 4 kms from Nimbin. The works are currently on program at Site 1 with bulk earthworks now completed and 80 piles out of 240 are now installed. In the following weeks, concrete works are due to commence. At Site 2, there is an approximately 2 weeks delay due to the requirement to construct additional erosion protection to stop the soil washing away in heavy rain. The gabion erosion protection will be completed this week and pile installation will commence in 2 weeks’ time.
The works are expected to occur over 9 months from mid-May 2023 subject to weather, contractor, and material availability. This will involve piling and retaining wall construction works to allow repair of the landslips, reconstruction of pavement, reinstatement of road and guardrail barriers along with installing signs, guideposts, and line marking. Traffic control lights remain in place and existing single lane traffic control will remain in place during the works period. Council would like to thank the residents of the region for their patience during this time.Pavement Investigations

Council has commenced roadworks on two landslip sites on Nimbin Road that have been identified as significantly impacted by the February 2022 natural disaster. Funding was secured through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangement (DRFA). This funding is allocated to repair damage sustained during the February 2022 natural disaster only. Works have already commenced at both sites, with Site 1 is approximately 1 km from Nimbin and Site 2 is approximately 4 kms from Nimbin. During the past month, both sites have undergone site establishment, installation of steel barriers and traffic lights, establishment of safety and environmental control, tree cutting along the entire embankment slope, removal of road materials including asphalt, and preliminary excavation ready for drilling operations.
The activities scheduled during the next month for both sites include completion of preliminary excavation, completion of working platform for drilling operation, excavation of working benches (a series of horizontal steps with near-vertical surfaces between them), completion of piling operation and construction of rock embankment at site 2. The works are expected to occur over 9 months from mid-May 2023 subject to weather, contractor, and material availability. This will involve piling and retaining wall construction works to allow repair of the landslips, reconstruction of pavement, reinstatement of road and guardrail barriers along with installing signs, guideposts, and line marking. Traffic control lights remain in place and existing single lane traffic control will remain in place during the works period. Council would like to thank the residents of the region for their patience during this time.
Town Road
Funding was awarded by the NSW Government through its Fixing Country Bridges program to replace the damaged structure at Town Road, Terania Creek with a new steel superstructure bridge. Piling works are well underway installing the four 1.2m diameter x 13.5m deep bored concrete piles. The first pile has been drilled to depth and its concrete placed with the second and third pile to be completed at the beginning of July. The upcoming weather system will likely delay the installation of the fourth and final pile. Following completion of the piling activities, works will commence on forming up the abutments. The steel bridge structure has also recently been dispatched from France and is currently on route and is expected in the Port of Brisbane in approximately 45 days.
Whian Whian Road – Simes Bridge (Vandalism)
We want to thank the local residents who use Whian Whian Road for their patience with what is a difficult process to repair Simes Bridge. Unfortunately, late Friday night (23rd June), the traffic barriers used to reduce the bridge to one lane were thrown over the edge and into the creek below. Simes Bridge suffered damage last year from massive weather events and shortly afterwards was inspected and assessed by independent engineers. The bridge is able to remain open to a single lane of traffic only. Single-lane access reduces the load impacting the bridge and avoids a closure to Whian Whian Road at this point. Traffic barriers are required to manage single-lane access. Criminal activity can be reported to the Police. Council has a call centre for reporting damages to community property; please phone 0266 250 500 or email council@lismore.nsw.gov.au
Tuntable Creek Road
We would like to thank the Tuntable Creek community for the wonderful feedback we have received about our new SMS Broadcast system.
In the event of rainfall exceeding our trigger level or other significant changes, the temporary track will be closed again at short notice. We apologise for the disruption this causes and delays in travelling alternative routes. To reduce the inconvenience, the Flood Recovery – Roads and Bridges team were granted access to an SMS Broadcast service to generate a contact list for Tuntable Creek Road emergency road shutdowns. Residents can join this broadcast list, through emailing floodrecoveryroadsbridges@lismore.nsw.gov.au your name, mobile number, and permission to contact via SMS.
FUTURE WORKS
Dudgeon Road & Bungabbee Road – Bridge Approaches
Works are due to commence in the next two weeks on the reinstatement of Dudgeon Bridge approaches on Dudgeon Road. These works will involve removal and reinstatement of the flood damaged bridge approaches which will include an asphalt wearing surface. Following completion of Dudgeon Bridge, works will then commence on Bungabbee Bridge approaches. Both projects will take approximately two weeks each to complete.
Branch Creek Crossing, Terania Creek Road
Following the 2022 natural disaster Terania Creek Road suffered extensive damage. Due to the nature and high number of damages incurred, works are being finalised on how best to provide timely improvements for the community and road users. The current structure at Branch Creek has received funding from the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) for replacement of the flood damaged asset. Works will include replacing the current box culvert structure with a 16m bridge and extending erosion protection to the edge of the road. The funding application for other damages on Terania Creek Road are currently being assessed. Survey and design work commenced in June 2023 for the replacement structure and works will commence in 2024.
