Jerona Causeway emergent repairs update
Burdekin Shire Council wishes to advise that the Jerona side of the Causeway embankment underwent urgent restoration works this morning following favourable tidal conditions at the Causeway.
In order to restore access, the repairs consisted of large ballast and high strength concrete to repair and reestablish the approach. The concrete repairs require time to reach sufficient strength and it is anticipated that the concrete will have cured sufficiently to allow the crossing to be open by late Friday afternoon or evening. Load testing will be undertaken on Friday afternoon before opening to the public.
Jerona Road remains closed for safety reasons and to allow sufficient time for the repairs and concrete to cure.
Council will update the public on Friday afternoon as to the status of any potential reopening and wishes to thank the community for their patience and understanding while the works are carried out.
