The Council will be conducting a partial closure of Browns Gap Road for essential Geotechnical and Geophysical investigation works for a minimum of two and a half weeks. The road will be closed Monday to Friday between the hours of 6:00am and 6:00pm. The closure will commence at 6:00am the morning of Monday 17th February for a period of two weeks. The length of this closure may be impacted by wet weather conditions.
During this period, Council contractors will be undertaking core sampling to obtain necessary data required for a disaster recovery funding application which will be submitted before 30th June 2025.
Additional monitoring sensors will be installed which will give the Council a better understanding of the movement beneath the road especially after heavy periods of rain.
The installation of these sensors will allow the Council to make more informed decisions about when the road needs to be closed in response to the TARP measures.
While the Council appreciates the inconvenience that road closures on Browns Gap Road may cause, it is important to note that these works are a crucial next step towards a full and total repair of the road.
