Temporary Road Closure - Bald Nob Road Glen Innes

Temporary Road Closure - Mt Mitchell Road at Mann River Bridge

From 9 January the Mt Mitchell Road will be closed at Mann River for the removal of the old timber bridge and the construction of the replacement concrete bridge.

The $1.4M project is funded by the Fixing Country Bridges Program and will be delivered by Council's Works Department and specialist contractors.  The new bridge will be higher, reducing the number of road closures due to flooding and will have wider lanes and re-aligned road approaches to increase user safety.

The project is expected to take ten months and due to the topographical constraints of the site, a full road closure for the duration of the project is the most appropriate option.   

Alternate access to the Mt Mitchell area east of the Mann River is via Glen Legh Road.

Please contact Council’s Infrastructure Services Customer Service on (02) 6730 2371 or email roads@gisc.nsw.gov.au for further information.

Temporary Road Closure - Wentworth Street Bridge  

The bridge over Rocky Ponds Creek in Wentworth Street Glen Innes between East Avenue and West Avenue will be closed from Wednesday 6 March 2024. 

This closure is so that Council can undertake the demolition of the old timber bridge structure and construction of the replacement concrete bridge.

This project and temporary road closure is expected to last for approximately five (5) months. 

Bridge Closure - Furracabad Road

Council contracted certified bridge engineers to assess the bridge over the Furracabad Creek on Furracabad Road.

The timber structures were found to be in very poor condition and due to significant deterioration of substructure elements, it was recommended that the bridge be closed to vehicular traffic immediately. Council unfortunately has little choice but to comply with this recommendation due to public safety concerns, and kindly advises that the bridge will be closed with immediate effect.

Council regrets any inconvenience that these closures may cause, and thanks residents and motorists in advance for their co-operation.
