Motorists warned of latest bridge works
DISRUPTIONS of up to 10 minutes for traffic using the Barron River Bridge at Kuranda will be experienced over the next two weeks as testing and maintenance works continue on the ageing structure.
The Department of Transport and Main Roads is undertaking more testing and maintenance works on the bridge until Friday 29 August.
The works are part of an ongoing testing and monitoring program to ensure the bridge remains safe and operational until a replacement bridge is built.
Crews will be on site between 7am and 5pm (including Saturday and Sunday). Changed traffic conditions will be in place during the works, including a single-lane operation of the bridge.
Traffic controllers will monitor queue lengths and working hours will be adjusted if required.
From 18-29 August, intermittent full closures of up to 10 minutes will be required between 9am and 3pm.
