Guardrail repairs on the schedule for August

Published on 06 August 2024

Guardrail repairs are on the schedule for August, with Pioneer Bridge, Repentance Creek Bridge, and Palmwoods Bridge all getting a spruce up over the coming weeks. The guard rails were damaged in the 2022 floods.

The Pioneer Bridge at Wilsons Creek will be first on the agenda from today Tuesday 6 August, Repentance Creek Bridge will be completed on Friday 9 August, and Palmwoods Bridge guardrail on Main Arm Road will be repaired next week. 

While the first two bridges will be repaired during the day under traffic control, Main Arm Road at Palmwoods Bridge will need to be closed to traffic for six consecutive nights from Monday 12 August to Sunday 18 August (morning), during the hours of 7pm to 6am. 

Byron Shire Mayor, Michael Lyon said that he was pleased to see the guardrail repairs happening.

“Though there will be some inconvenience to road users for a short period of time while they are repaired, it’s great news that these repairs are continuing this month,” Mr Lyon said. 

More information about the Palmwoods Bridge repair can be found on Council’s website. 

The project has been jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments through Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements and is facilitated by Transport for NSW and the NSW Reconstruction Authority.
