Progress on range works
STABILISATION of a slope that was the subject of a major landslide on the Kuranda Range Road in December 2023 has been completed.
The site downhill from Henry Ross Lookout has been stabilised using soil nails and steel reinforced geomat/mesh.
A hydromulch was applied ahead off mesh installation and the revegetation process will happen gradually as the native seed mix germinates and grows through the mesh.
The cassia species selected for the mix are height appropriate for the roadside site and will help encourage the gradual regrowth of the surrounding native plant species, according to the department of Transport and Main Roads.
TMR is also advising road users that night closures are scheduled to continue until late March.
Closures allow reconstruction to continue at priority sites. Works will also be undertaken to repair roads and drainage structures affected by the recent heavy rain.
Closures are from 9pm to 4am. Traffic let throughs are at 12am (midnight). No night closures are scheduled for Friday and Saturday nights.
In mid-March, TMR will provide further advice regarding night closures, the ongoing program of works and construction impacts.
