Changed Traffic Conditions for Tully Gorge Road Users

Changed traffic conditions will be in place whilst Council is undertaking a project to replace a culvert located on Tully Gorge Road, Tully.

Council’s Asset Sustainability portfolio holder Councillor Barry Barnes said Council maintains culverts and drainage across the region with an ongoing upgrade and renewal program for culverts that have reached their end of serviceable life.

“Once complete, the new culvert will improve safety for the community, improve flood immunity following heavy wet weather events and provide additional years of service.

‘Works were awarded to local company, MJC Civil. To allow works to proceed, the contractor will install a side track, about 150 metres long, adjacent to the road and a detour will be in place for the travelling public during the works.”

Councillor Barnes said that the road will remain open for traffic with the side track under traffic control. Council appreciates the patience of residents and the travelling public whilst these important works are undertaken and apologise for any delays that a detour may cause.

Works are expected to commence in early-May and take about four weeks, subject to weather and site conditions.

The $360,000 project is proudly funded by the Queensland Government through the Transport Infrastructure Development Scheme and the Cassowary Coast Regional Council.
