Construction work will be put out to bid after TfNSW approves the work scope & geotechnical investigations. Please proceed with caution and drive carefully. Interim repairs are being made by the council's southern district.

09/12/2022- With a tender not likely to be awarded until March 2023 Council is now planning to undertake interim works. The plan is to allocate use a grading crew to “rip up “ the worst sections of damaged road and replace with compacted gravel. These sections will most likely remain unsealed until more long-term reconstruction can take place.
