Night bridge project
STAGE two of the Geraldton Bridge project in Innisfail is underway.
A council spokesman said the works would primarily focus on essential bridge maintenance, particularly targeting the expansion joints.
“This maintenance involves precise attention to the bridge’s key structural elements, including the piers and girders, with a critical emphasis on replacing specific arrangements to uphold the bridge’s integrity,” he said.
“The anticipated timeline for this maintenance is approximately three weeks, pending favourable weather conditions and site readiness.
“To minimise disruption to the local community, work will be conducted at night on Monday to Thursday until April 24, 6pm to 6am.
“Traffic management measures will be implemented to ensure safe passage for motorists, with the bridge operating under single-lane closure during this period.
“While council strives to minimise inconvenience, we ask residents to plan their journeys accordingly and apologise for any disruption caused during the maintenance work.” Noisy work will cease by 9pm.
