Repairs underway on Wilsons Creek Road

Byron Shire Council's executive manager of community infrastructure Phil Holloway said repair work is already underway at Wilson Creek Road.

"The repair works will take at least two weeks and is dependent on the weather.

"At this stage the region has not been declared a natural disaster and therefore all costs will be worn by Council.

"The repair works and estimated costs will be reported to Council as soon as possible,” Mr Holloway said.

Currently one lane is open to light traffic only.  Traffic controllers are on site 24 hours a day.

Mr Holloway said the school bus will be picking up on eastern side of the road near the Wilsons Creek Public School. 

Traffic controllers will assist with school children and walk them from one side to the other when needed.

There has also been damage to Main Arm Road and causeways.  Council crews are presently out undertaking repair work where possible and cleaning up debris.

Mr Holloway urged all motorists to drive to the road conditions and take notice of all signs.
