Latest news
22 December 2011 - Tommy's Creek fact sheet - December update
The new bridge over Tommy's Creek will be opened earlier than
planned, with further road works (not affecting access) continuing over
the wet.
The bridge will replace the existing culverts and provide additional flow area for the creek.
Traffic will continue to be directed along the detour until the weather conditions deteriorate. This will allow works to continue on the bridge for as long as possible.
Once the detour becomes impassable, the traffic will be diverted to the bridge to allow for unheeded community access. See fact sheet for more detail (pdf)
