Project update: November 25, 2024

Barren Creek Bridge completion is delayed

The works by Timber Restoration Systems (TRS) are progressing well. The substructure is complete and scour protection works are under way.

Unfortunately, the custom-built deck has been held in Customs causing a delay to the re-opening. Council and TRS have investigated other options to minimise further delays and, as a result, a new deck is being constructed at no additional expense to council.

The work is now expected to be completed by late February 2025, weather permitting.

Detours will remain in place via Barren Creek Road to Barren Pocket Road or via Mirani-Mount Ossa Road.

Please continue to drive to the road conditions and follow all roadside signage.

We apologise for any inconvenience. Should you require any further information, please contact 1300 MACKAY (622 529).
