TMR Range Road Update Thursday 21 February

From: Engagement Northern <engagement.northern@tmr.qld.gov.au>
Subject: Update for Mt Spec Road, Paluma
Date: 21 February 2019 at 12:11:09 pm AEST

The Department of Transport and Main Roads is pleased to share that substantial progress has been made this week to remove debris from Mt Spec Road, following the record rainfall and resulting landslips. 

Both lanes of the road have now been cleared of debris, and an assessment of the significant cultural and heritage features of the area has been undertaken.

We expect to remove the last of the stockpiled material in the coming days. Geotechnical engineers are currently assessing the range slopes for stability. This investigation will inform us if further works are required to stabilise the slopes prior to removing the travel restrictions currently in place.  A further update on our progress will be provided tomorrow. 

Kind Regards,  

Dana
